Congrats on adopting the little girl. You'll have to post some

Great pics of a beautiful girl. She looks as if she was a very
endearing kitty. Thank you for sharing.

Sharon,The word seems to be that cats can take chemo better than humans. Higher tolerance to it, apparently. I am definitely not a vet, and I've only been reading for a few weeks... my scant research seems to indicate that chemo would be fine to do with interferon or some other FeLV treatment.
Definitely some nice looking kitties. Thank you for sharing, and for
helping wonderful cats to have better lives than they might have.

Glad to hear that Bella's doing well. Please continue to keep us posted.

I prayed for her (and you). While others have said this, I also want
to thank you for looking out after these wonderful furry creatures.
One of our dogs has the tell-tale little black nits in the fur on
her neck that indicate fleas are incoming. We're going to treat her
tomorrow with Frontline. My father is convinced that none of the
other animals should be treated if they don't have fleas.
My Ember is FeLV+, and while she
Oh well. We just treated Ember. I decided to take the plunge, after
reading some things about the Frontline and Advantage on the web. It
actually ended up being Advantage that we have, so that's what Ember
got a dose of. Hopefully this will give her protection while we sort
out whether or

watchful and concerned, and I will be until all's clear.

can't perform that particular check.
I'm hoping to find gentler options for keeping Ember flea-free in the
future.

Great news about MK! You definitely should be proud if she can take
those abdominal shots. I'm pretty sure she's tougher than me. Icing
on the cake to have her attain the title of Pet of the Month.
As for donations for testing treatments, I've wondered about this
myself. I joined up with

comfort, protect and nourish them. Thank you.

It really saddened me to read of Dukee's passing. It seemed as if he

around you who share your loss, and by the knowledge that you did all

I've always understood that low dose (7 days on/7 days off, etc.)
interferon alpha doesn't produce resistance. High dose interferon
alpha, which I don't think I've read of anyone on the list using,
DOES produce resistance at around 7 weeks of treatment. Low dose
seems to be the better way
