They finally accepted it when public opinion soared in favor and the local newspaper printed several articles in support and against what was taking place at the kill shelter (gas chamber). But that still leaves Karen without a car and without money to buy one if she doesn't get some donations to help with the cat food. It's not organizations I'm asking now, it's just individuals who can spare a few dollars to call in to Petsmart, Pet Supplies Plus and Petco to get her gift cards on file so she can purchase the cat food with at least a little help. She also has rent and utilities to pay, which is sucking money out of her paycheck and she is not eligible for any steady help from anywhere else because she has a job.

Your poor cat is definitely not happy without being able to breed. He won't be happy ever because he will have to be caged and bred many times in his life before he is of no more use in breeding. Right now, if you are really ethical and want to do best by your male cat, you should get him neutered and sell him as a pet quality Bengal. Papers or not, he's a living being with feelings just like you and I have. As for the little female, she needs to be retested. She also needs to be spayed. If she still tests positive for FeLv, you need to find a rescue that will take her. Or advertise for an adopter who wants to have her as an only cat or companion to a small dog. You can charge an adoption fee. I noticed that your email address is Texas Gold Buyers. I assume that you buy gold and re-sell it. That's a good business to be in.

Was she scanned for a chip? I would definitely do this. She may of course be abandoned but also could be displaced/lost. Most of the chipped cats I find do not have up to date contact info and I've had to do detective work, but because the chip info isn't up to date doesn't always mean the cat doesn't have someone who loves misses it. So many don't have/need homes, it is worth the effort I believe...most turn out to be deadbeat owners, but there could be a kid in the family who's been crying for months over their lost pet--I have had this situation before where we really didn't think the cat had a good home, one never knows. I say this knowing that most do end up being deadbeatsbut, not always, or at least, there might be one person in the family who does care and deserves to know the kitty is alive and have a chance to claim.

Do you have a small room @ your house you can use for a few weeks? If so, you should keep her in there - with litter, food water a place to hide (large box with hole in it some towels will do just fine) while you get her accustomed to you as her new care giver. Go in there everyday to be with her - even if you don't touch her. Stay in there for at least a half-hour read something out loud (normal voice) so she can get used to hearing you. If you decide to name her - use her name over over when you go in to feed her. Praise her for being a smart strong kitty. etc. Then after a few weeks, leave her in the room, but with a screened window cracked open a bit, so she can get used to the new neighborhood smells from inside. That way, when you do finally let her out ( put her box outside too) she will already be familiar with the surroundings won't be so apt to bolt or run off. Good luck!

Now I’m literally an hour away from needing to decide. The problem is that my aunt (who’s tame housecat I took) also had a “feral” living in her large yard. The cat showed up about 2 years ago, and for the past year I believe the cat has pretty much been a resident there (her only source of food?). Yesterday I trapped her and took her to Forgotten Felines, the local and excellent TNR organization. Guess what? She had already been spayed. That means some (fill in the blank nasty term) ‘person’ had just abandoned her! So here’s the dilemma: if I release her in my yard, she’s in a strange place. The only thing holding her near will be my good heart. If I take her back to my aunt’s house (which is to go on the market soon) god knows what will happen, where she will find food, and the next ‘trapper’ may not have as good a motivation as I do.

Re: [Felvtalk] VooDoo is missing
Put a trap out, line it with newspaper and cover with a blanket or sheet. Put some food right outside the trap, leading up to it and in the back. Also put some of your dirty clothes around it as well as some of his dirty litter. If you have another cat that he is bonded with, put it in a carrier and place it outside so that VooDoo can hear him/her crying. Often that will bring them out.

If Voodoo comes to you, please scruff (just in case) and pick up at the same time, because of being afraid. If you can lock away other cats, I would definitely leave a door open. The problem might be, though, that Voodoo might run out again when you come into that area, unless there's a safe hiding place normally used by Voodoo. The same thing happened to us when we lived in England, a guest kept the door open too long and our cat Lucifer ran out. Can you imagine this crazy American going around the neighborhood, calling Lucifer in the middle of the night? I decided to call Lucy instead...after some deliberation. We left the door open, I sat in a chair in the hallway, and he came back at about 4 AM. I bet he was under the hedges that surrounded the house all the time. If there are any bushes around where you live, that might be the best bet to look under. Good luck! I'll be thinking of Voodoo and sending a message to go home!

Also when you put the food out make a big production of it by either banging the can a few times with the spoon or rattling the bag so he knows it's there. Keep the house quiet as possible and at night keep as many lights off as possible. Given how spooked he is you may need to catch him in a trap to get him back inside - keep food outside in the same place for him as this will be he location of the trap if needed. If you do see him outside just you go out and sit quietly to see if he comes up to you. If he does approach you just take a minute or two to pet him just as if you were inside and when you can do it easily (almost naturally as if you were inside) pick him up (hold him tight as even though this it is you just picking him up may scare him) and bring him inside. Not sure if you have other cats or if it is possible but if you can leave a door open by the food you put out so he has a chance to just slither back into the house on this own.

My greatest concern is that around 2:00am, he tried to come home and we absolutely scared him to death trying to get him to bring him inside. (He hasn't been out since he came to us as a five week old kitten) I'm worried that he might be afraid to come home. It breaks my heart to think of my little kissing bandit, hungry, scared and alone. He doesn't tolerate dry food well and I know some of the residents where I suspect he is hiding puts it out for the few strays. This is such a heavy burden for me and I am not taking it very well. Please just send your positive thoughts our way. Thanks for listening.

Re: [Felvtalk] Finding homes for cats upon death
Have you considered setting up a trust and including the house in the trust. --- On Tue, 12/21/10, Natalie at...@optonline.net wrote: From: Natalie at...@optonline.net Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Finding homes for cats upon death To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Date: Tuesday, December 21, 2010, 5:47 AM We had actually set up a Foundation, but now find that we will change it to a Fund instead. Advice from lawyers was non-existent, I had to find out the hard way. We are also thinking of leaving the house to someone who would continue the work, but again - how does one trust someone to do that - and who should oversee it - it's not easy. What really gets to me, as a rescuer, is how relatives of someone who dies could just ignore their pets, whether it's one or many! I get those calls, and always ask your mother, aunt, uncle, etc. loved the pet(s), don't you feel some kind of responsibility to care for them? It falls on dead ears. When my mother died, I couldn't take her cats because they were elderly, used to their spaces, some very skittish rescues...I tried contacting Chicago rescue groups, not to place them, but to see if anyone there might be interested in taking care of them. Two young women and a man from a well-known group (Treehouse) happened to be at a conference on the East Coast, and came to be interviewed. All seemed fine, until he found out that there was a basement and that he could play his drums thereneed I say more? Through a friend, I found a woman who had her own 12 cats and needed to move - bingo! There's only one cat left now, and I could easily bring him here, but at almost 18, Arsenio is too old, and I might as well wait until he dies without disrupting his life. I also contacted veterinarians in the area. The thing to watch for is someone who wants free boarding and may not take good care of the animals. There must be someone to oversee them, too - but who? A lawyer who doesn't know squat about cat care? We have the cats and dog in our will, but there are so many details to think of, and you know that something will be forgotten! Whenever I get a call from someone whose relative died, all of this comes into focus again. And I don't have all the answers. Maybe we could all pool our thoughts on this Natalie -Original Message- From: felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org [mailto:felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org] On Behalf Of Debbie Bates Sent: Tuesday, December 21, 2010 7:58 AM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Finding homes for cats upon death Lorrie, that is something I lay awake at night worrying about myself...not only my own cats, but the ferals I have TNR'd and care forin July I was hospitalized for almost three weeksthank goodness my husband was able to care for them (well, as much as he could)but I hesitate to do any more rescue work because I am not a spring chicken any more...and who will take them if and when I die?

I have three grown kids and grown grandkids and all of them love cats, but they have a bunch of their own. I would like to find someone to move into our house and take care of them. I'd even give them the house, and it's a very nice house in a resort area on a lake in the eastern mountains of WV. So far in my will I've left 1,000 per cat to help them find good homes, but how do I know someone won't take the money and dump the cat? I worry about my fur babies constantly. They are my life. If anyone has any good ideas about what I can do please e-mail me personally. Lorrie On 12-20, MaiMaiPG wrote: Consider providing for them in your will.

Re: [Felvtalk] Fw: Bonnie P-SPOT SOLVED
Ask your vet if Pepcid AC will help.

But I think I've finally solved the mystery of the Pee Spot! Lucky frequently spits up. He'll be fine for days, then have a bout of spitting up almost clear liquid, 3 or 4 times a day. I mentioned to the vet he spits up and the vet seemed unconcerned, saying cats are very susceptible to gastric upset. I now think the spots on the bed were not pee, but spit up. I'm not sure if this is a serious issue; I'll mention it to the vet again. But having him spit up rather than pee is a little easier for me psychologically, at least! ~Bonnie - Original Message - From: paola cresti iend...@yahoo.com To: leukemia list felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Sunday, October 24, 2010 10:28 PM Subject: [Felvtalk] Fw: Bonnie Also pee doesn't smell much when a cat has kidney failure - just FYI as there'd be other symptoms (drinking a lot for example) and also it's at an advanced stage that the pee doesn't smell anymore, because the kidneys can't clean the body of toxins so it doesn't smell. I don't think this is the case, but just so it's out there (I had a kitty that lived with kidney failure for quite a while) also it wouldn't make the cat incontinent or explain why he's peeing where he sleeps.
