Re: [Felvtalk] Airline Health Certificate
Jenine, How funny I was just going to post about that. You do need to be careful about temps, if they are forecast to be over or under a certain temp they will not fly them cargo and will have to go in the cabin with a person.

Re: [Felvtalk] Airline Health Certificate
I don't see why not. If you are flying within the US you do not usually have to have a health certificate. Are you flying kitty by commercial air?

[Felvtalk] Please add ChooChoo to the bridge list
Please add ChooChoo to the bridge list. She died on March 19. She was a Russian blue (with white) FELV kitty that I found at a farm in east Arkansas, in 2008. Moved her to my home in Little Rock, and found out she was FELV positive. She was a friendly kitty, had a mind of her own, seemed to enjoy life here. She may have been 6 mo to 1 yr old at the time of rescue. This puts her in the neighborhood of 3 yrs old, which is about when I often lose my FELV cats, if they had the virus as a kitten. I hadn't seen any signs of real illness, but she had been a little more subdued for a couple of days. Sleep soft sweet ChooChoo.

Re: [Felvtalk] Please add ChooChoo to the bridge list
Gloria Just imagine what a different -- and much better -- life little ChooChoo had with you. How kind of you to take her in so her short time could be spent in a loving, safe and healthful home. Bless you for your generosity. It will come back to you, one day. May little ChooChoo now be free to joyfully explore that great Farm in the Sky! ~Bonnie - Original Message - From: Gloria B.

[Felvtalk] Yet another question.....
I've mentioned my kitty Two Face earlier because she died two weeks ago and when they did the necropsy they found out she had a huge tumor and was FeLV +. Since then I've had a few of my other kitties tested with the combo/snap test at the vet's office. All have come out negative so far, thank the Lord for that. These other kitties that have tested negative lived with Two Face for over a year. Sharing litterboxes, food bowls and all that stuff. I would think that would mean that they had enough exposure to the virus to get it in their system and that they either extinguished the virus or put it into a dormant status. Is that a reasonable assumption? My main question now is should I give them a FeLV vaccination. If they did get the virus in their system and extinguished it then they're immune for life, right? If so, there's no need for a vaccination. Is it possible with all that exposure that they didn't get enough of the virus into their system to do any harm? If that's the case then I should vaccinate them? I just don't know how they could not have gotten enough exposure since they lived together and shared everything for over a year. Thoughts? “I am not interested to know whether vivisection produces results that are profitable to the human race or doesn’t….the pain which it inflicts upon unconsenting animals is the basis of my enmity toward it, and it is to me sufficient justification of the enmity without looking further.” – Mark Twain ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
Re: [Felvtalk] Airline Health Certificate
We travel with animals to and from Mexico (we rescued cats and a dog there)- coming into the US, the ONLY thing that is required is a current rabies certificate. Going to Mexico, OMG - health certificate, rabies and other vaccines, parasite control tags, etc. - almost ridiculous since animals there are certainly not in great conditionrunning around, not spayed/neutered, not vaccinated..homeless. They travel with us in the cabin! -Original Message- From: felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org [mailto:felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org] On Behalf Of TANYA NOE Sent: Monday, March 21, 2011 11:40 AM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Airline Health Certificate I don't see why not.
