Re: [Felvtalk] kitten vs. cat when adding a positive
If anyone is interested in adding a healthy positive adult to their home, my beloved foster cat Zelda is still available for adoption after one year. We cannot mainstream her due to the health conditions of one of our own cats, so she has a room of her own in our house (with plenty of love and company, but still, she deserves a home of her own). She remains asymptomatic after her rescue last January. Our vet declares her one of the healthiest he has ever seen. She enjoys lap time, her laser, and watching tv. A real sweetheart. Click on the link below to see her petfinder profile, or contact me for more info. I am willing to transport almost anywhere for the right home for this sweet girl. Love to all the fur-babies and the wonderful folks who care for them, Trish and Zelda Help me help animals!

Re: [Felvtalk] Lost my FELV Stray dude
Julie, What you did for that cat is really beautiful, and he will stay alive in your heart forever. I am sorry for your loss. We also care for a stray who turned out to be FeLV positive - Zelda has been living in my foster room since January, waiting for a home, and our evenings together sound a lot like yours. You gave him a wonderful last couple of weeks, with safety, comfort and the love that all creatures deserve. I am sure that you will be blessed for your kindness. Trish Help me help animals!

Re: [Felvtalk] Felvtalk Digest, Vol 25, Issue 28
That is terrible news about P&G purchasing EVO - I currently feed Innova to Zelda, my FeLV foster, and California Natural to my own cats...I have to say, we had a vomiting problem for years that the California Natural has completely solved, so I'm going to have a hard time giving it up.

[Felvtalk] Foster mom of FeLV+ cat
Hi, My foster kitty, Zelda, has been diagnosed FeLV+ (snap test and IFA). I am seeking advice on the best way to care for Zelda, who is about a year old and has no symptoms, and also looking for resources and ideas for adoption. She has had extensive bloodwork, and our vet says she is an otherwise healthy girl. Any advice, particularly regarding adoption resources for FeLV+ cats, would be greatly appreciated. She has a home here as long as she needs it, and I will move mountains if necessary to find an adoptive home for her. She currently has her own room at my house, but I can tell she is a social girl, and she deserves a home of her own. I have four FeLV negative cats of my own, and don't want her to spend her life in a small room by herself. I am observing normal sanitary protocols - she is separate from my cats with no contact, and I thoroughly wash up when entering and leaving her room. Right now she is being treated for bartonella, which all of the cats from the colony she came from have tested positive for, and is two weeks into her three week treatment. We also treated her for coccydia. She's been spayed and vaccinated. Is there anything else I should be doing for her besides providing a warm, quiet environment and lots of love? Thanks for any info you can provide - this is my rescue's first FeLV case. It was suggested that I send her to sanctuary, but I see that option as a last resort, and don't want to turn my back so quickly on this sweet girl who has put her trust in me. Thanks!
