Re: [Felvtalk] FW: Caboodle Ranch - Another "sanctuary" owner charged with cruelty
FYI: Here's another perspective on the situation: From: "X" [name removed]Sent: Tuesday,February 28, 2012 3:51 PMSubject: Craig Grant, Director of Caboodle Ranch The below info isfound at this link: https://www.facebook.com/caboodleranch.savethekitties Yesterday, when I heard of the investigation and rescue intervention at Caboodle Ranch, my first thought was that Craig Grant was just another compassionate fool who got in over his head because he couldn't turn away a cat with nowhere to go. The below information has changed my perception of him. No decent individual would let animals in his custody go without needed medical care, food and clean living conditions while making frivolous expenditures on himself from 501.3c funds that should have been spent on the cats. Financial Fraud For an overview of embezzlement and financial fraud click here here. Records obtained through the court indicate that operator, Craig Grant, is embezzling corporate funds (donations) for personal use. There are numerous transactions on their 501(c) not-for-profit account fortransactions such as: airline flights, trip to Vegas, tickets to Daytona 500, hotels, online clothing orders, online magazine orders, gifts, etc. The list goes on and on. Craig admitted in court records that he does not routinely record cash donations. It's been reported that Craig has used cash to take people out to eat. In interviews Craig Grant has stated he gets a $1000/month personal salary. Therefore, any personal expenses should be paid for out of HIS salary. It is unlawful for any transactions for personal use to come out of a not-for-profit corporate account. All donations/income MUST be used for the care of cats.

He came through OK it seemed, and his bloodwork turned out to be very promising (his mild anemia around December had reversed with his hematocrit in the middle of the normal range). But something seemed off with agitation and his eyes and the vet realized that Dublin seems to be blind. He did all the ocular tests they do and nothing physiologically can be found wrong -- no detached retina, no bleed, no evidence of hypoxia, etc. But only his left eye is even minimally reactive to light. The vet believes the blindness to be related to the FeLV, although I'm still totally confused about the suddenness of this all. Dublin has always had something weird about his eyes -- the pupils stay mostly dilated and while they constrict a little it's definitely not like a normal cat. I wondered if he had an eye problem and could see well even before I adopted him and learned he was FeLV+. But he seemed to see fine. While Dublin is physically stable he is apparently extremely agitated and the vet wants to keep him at the hospital until he settles down and begins to adapt. He was with him until 10:30 last night and says that Dubbie has scarcely been out of a tech's arms since. (He is the most loving, people-oriented cat, and is not stressed just from being at the vet -- it's almost a joke how much he likes it there.) I am crazy with distress and also with anxiety about bringing him home (have another cat, pretty rowdy, and a dog), though everyone says blind cats can do well. I'd appreciate any encouragement -- or in particular any insight into a FeLV-blindness link.

Re: [Felvtalk] request info
It's just FIV, not double positive. The two cats were pulled from the pound by a rescue. They've asked for help because they feel have to allocate their time & resources to the many other cats they have right now that aren't moving. Adoptions are terrible right now, as I'm sure they are everywhere. They mentioned the possibility of having to euthanize just because of how bad things are right now, and the need for cage room for other cats. I'm not judging either way--just trying to offer them some alternative to euthanization (if it comes to that). I'd hate to see that decision get made because yes, FIV cats can live full lives and can mix. But the public isn't adopting any cats right now, perfect or otherwise.

Re: [Felvtalk] Devastated and Ignorant-Confused-New Diagnosis in Multiple Cat Household
Steven, Why your vet would assume the others will be positive is distressing. You can have one positive and never have any other occurrences, ever, ever, amen. As for separating, if the cats have all been living together up till now, then you might as well let them continue to co-mingle. Separating everyone can create more stress than anything, and stress can be a very damaging factor. - Fight back spam!

RE: looking for advice re kitty prozac
I entered this conversation late, but if this has not been said, then here's my two cents: Sometimes with a cat that WILL NOT take meds orally, you can go to the supermarket deli, ask for a chunk of Boar's Head liverwurst (I believe BH does not contain onion powder, so is safe for cats), take it home, and use it to make little pill pockets to hide the meds. Most of my cats LOVE the liverwurst, and will eat it right up. Not all of them, but most. Worth a try?... - Fight back spam!

FIP diagnosis?
Just came home from the vet. Yesterday morning, I noticed that Jilly, my 6 month old foster's stomach had bloated out. Looeds like she had swallowed a water balloon. They said it was all fluid, but couldn't get a sample. They tried and tried. Took x-ray, used a sonogram probe. All fluid. She is acting fine. But they said she might have only a very short time--maybe days. They seem sure it's FIP. They gave me Baytril and said if by some miracle, she's alive in 7 days, come back and get more.

Hello
Hello. I'm new to this list, so if I make a mistake, please let me know. I was referred here for help with the following situation: We took in an felv cat 3 weeks ago because a man had brought him to our local vet's (close to Atlanta, GA) with a story about how he was coming into his yard. He wanted an appointment for a check-up, shots, etc. He handed the cat to the receptionist and went out to his car to "get his wallet". Then he drove away, never to be seen again. The receptionist called us because we are big cat people, and some of the other workers at her offcie were talking about calling animal control to come take him away. We said yes, we'd take him in. In the meantime, she had him tested, and he came up positive. The policy at this vet's is automatic euthanasia. I told her to stop them--I would find him placement somehow. They almost didn't let us take him out of there, but finally relented. So here we are 3 weeks later. He is living in our basement, healthy as a horse, but lonely. We had him fixed, got him his shots, and now need only to find him a home. He cries for us to come down and spend time with him. We come down as often as possible, but since we have a whole houseful of felines upstairs that require many hours of care, it's difficult. Obviously, this is no way for him to live. If anyone out there is considering taking in a second cat, or maybe taking on another after a loss, please let us know. This cat is adorable, and is a wonderful companion. You can see his picture by clicking on the links below. Thanks for listening!
