Last chance for Belle, the blind cat, who is now FELV...WA. State! URGENT!
Hi all, can anyone help this kitty? I wish I could but not in the position to do so due to incoming rescues and one of my cat rooms has seniors in it. I know this rescue they are very reputable and caring. You can tell them I sent an urgent request to help this kitty as they know who I am. This kitty can go to a caring home or a rescue that has knowledge about FELV kitties plus the fact this kitty is blind. Contact information is below. Permission to crosspost and forward!

We have had her at the vet where she uses her litterbox and is a nice kitty just happy to be having food regularly. We asked the vet to do blood work to see if healthy. Well, her overall health is good, but she came back FELV positive. The vet said she can live a nice, long life with another FELV kitty, but we have not found anyone willing to try and adopt her out (we had some offers with her being blind, but not blind AND FELV--this kitty has just plain bad luck). Please forward this email to help us find hope for Belle. We cannot keep her at the vet in a cage permanently and our small rescue does not have an area for FELV cats (its just me and Karen K. who hold cats for the county). Transport would be provided to a good rescue willing to help her find a forever home. We would spay her before she goes.

Re: Does FeLV vaccine cause false positive on SNAP tests?
Thanks for the clarification, Gloria. I'm glad for that answer.

If they do test positive, however, it's a good idea to retest.

This really grinds my gears that cats get euthanized based on this test if this is so. I've lost two really nice potential Siamese Rescue intakes this way (we don't take positives in our program and my local SPCA's policy is to euthanize positives).

Re: Does FeLV vaccine cause false positive on SNAP tests?
No, but the cat also isn't necessarily positive. False positives can and do happen.

Re: Junior's Story
Kerry You helped me when Junior had his eye infection. Youg gave me hope. I am lucky Junior lived another1.5 years . I do not know if you had the chance to look, but I posted a short story of his way too short life, complete with a few photos at the link below. Go to the cats and pet forum to see my baby. Yes he and Bandy who held my Tiny's paw as they made the journey Christmas day 2006 for Tiny was around 5PM ET I think Bandy left around 4 pm CT that day. They are all having a time up there.
