Re: [Felvtalk] Questions about placing an FeLV cat
Oh, also Crash's, where Sherry volunteers, seems great - run by a vet - however I believe they only take cats from the state of Michigan - Sherry correct me if I am wrong?

Re: [Felvtalk] Questions about placing an FeLV cat
We have had great good luck on this list adopting out FELV+ cats to individual adopters. Emily adopted Tofu and she is immaculately cared for and in the best situation of all, a real home and not a sanctuary. BFAS, much as I hate them, has openings at times for FELV cats. They do keep the cats in good condition but I disagree vehemently with their practices and would not send my worst enemy there, let alone a cat!

Re: [Felvtalk] Questions about placing an FeLV cat
If you can aford it, keep them. I would. I have 2 felv pos cats out of 7 and they are actually the healthiest (?) of the bunch. Have had them in mixed group for going on 4 years and my vet says that as long as the others are vaccinated, everyone gets good food, shelter and love, there should be no problem. And so far, he is right. Tell people not to be afraid of the word positive, give the cats a chance and the love you get back is more than worth it. Beth wrote: > I don't know of anyone.

Re: [Felvtalk] Questions about placing an FeLV cat
I don't know of anyone. The "sanctuaries" I used to know of have all been closed after it was discovered they had "death camp" conditions. Basically large-scale hoarding situations. People now seem to refer everyone they hear about to me just because I have a few. Nothing I can do. I just try to convince the people to keep them. The most recent lady who was refered to me has so fallen in love with the cat she has found a sympathetic, who amazingly has told her she can keep the cat with her other cat.
