I mix my positive with my 3 negatives and for 5 years, none of them have turned. I agree that if she turned them over, he/she would be euthanized just because of the FELV. It is a shame that more vets are not up to date on info about this. "Katherine K." wrote: > I messaged with someo

I will ask my friend down there, and also I have asked for help from another client whose case I just settled for her, and she has some contacts down in South Carolina. Surely, if we all pitch in, we can find a home for one cat! Amani From: Felvtalk [mailto:felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org]

I messaged with someone from the group who has talked to Sharon, although not in the last couple of days. She does not want to surrender her animals to Charleston Animal Society because they would require her to sign a form stating they could be euthanized if sick. She most likely has the FeLV posi
