Sorry if this is long.
I've been on this group/list for a very long time.
Seen many members come and go over the course of time by expressing their opinions that others didn't approve. I continue to stay on for support and to help others if I can off the group/list.
However, I do agree w

Yes, I am. When I originally came to this list, it was because I had a
kitten who tested "light pos" (I have since learned there is no such thing)
and SR was giving me no support whatsoever so I came here for support
instead. Everyone here wanted to know who the rescue was but I didn't tell
them
Edna, can I steal that line for my FB as well. lets see how far it travels
around the rescue community!

That's a shame. I know when my husband attended UT, we wanted a cat or a

Tanya,
Since you are a licensed vet tech, what is your opinion of cats/kittens
testing a FAINT positive on an ELISA test? Do you think they are shedding
the virus at this point?
If anyone else has an opinion, it is welcomed as well.
Thanks,
