True, but they did not collect the $400 they wanted to treat a barbed-wire, non-life threatening injury anyway! Here is the article: http://www.abc15.com/dpp/news/region_phoenix_metro/north_phoenix/public-outraged-by-phoenix-mans-euthanized-cat - Original Message - From: GRAS

No – I merely cross posted this kitty – I am on a national cat/dog rescue network, which is very depressing because most of them are on the kill-list for that night or next morning, and then there are cases like this kitty. If anyone would make contact, it would be directly to Sarah at

Hi there all, just wanted to introduce myself and start some dialog concerning my cat community. I live out East on Long Island and my town is affected greatly by FIV and FELV cats. I have been a rescuer for 20 years and never seen outbreaks so fearsome. For over 15 years I never had FELV

Hi. Not exactly sure with Daisy as it all happened so quickly. The vet ran what I assume was the ELISA, as she was dying. He did not do the IFA. I am interested in seeing how I can make Oliver's life as full of a life as it can be. I was told that he has leukemia. I can confirm that with the
