[Felvtalk] URGENT! 2 Adults and 3 kittens in danger of euthanasia

2009-08-24 Thread Doggone Fit

Hello Everyone!

Fellow FELV+ owner and advocate hoping to get some help for some 
positive adults and kittens in danger of being put to sleep.


I heard about this group of kitties from The Cat Shack, a non-profit 
rescue group out of Trexlertown, Pennsylvania, see a bit on their 
organization here: http://www.adoptapet.com/adoption_rescue/74581.html
I have enclosed photos of the crew, and here is the description provided 
to me:
We have 2 young adult females, very friendly. They were both nursing 3 
little kittens, who are also friendly and FeLV+. The babies are 8 weeks 
old.
Please keep them in mind- we have been trying to postpone euthanizing 
them until we can secure some space for them but its a difficult situation!
Here are some pics taken at the vet office- they look nervous because 
they had just arrived. They are actually quite friendly and lived in a 
home with a pitbull so are dog friendly.
This group is amazing. We adopted an FELV+ kitten from them a while back 
and they were great with communication and helped coordinate transport 
for her to come all the way to Mass. I too am willing to help coordinate 
transport for them if anyone is interested. They seem super sweet and I 
would take them all had we not just adopted two negatives after years of 
rescuing felv+ kitties. Can anyone possibly do a foster situation? Of 
course a permanent home would be great, but I just want to get them safe.

Thank you for your time.

actually, almost NO ONE ever saw angel wings: people bringing cats there
were met off-property. i know many folks who brought cats there, and only
know of one person who was actually allowed to see the main property (of two
or three) where the cats were.

and there's still questions about whether tiger ranch was anything other
than she claimed it to be: a last resort. lots of politics involved in
THAT one.

i think that most people who would pay that sum of money are doing so to
ensure the cat's comfort--and i doubt that normal folk would even consider
that a FeLV might ever find a home.

As I recall, Angel Wings and Tiger Ranch looked pretty spiffy online too.
Gotta visit the place to really know for sure.

Never heard of them, but the place sure looks spiffy.  And the price they
get to take a cat should more than cover its care and the upkeep on the
property.  Now if I could get a few donations like that.
Heck, if I got any donations  Ah, I would probably just spend it
foolishly on stuff like cat food, litter and vet bills anyway.

has anyone ever heard of these folks before?

i find it really scary how many sanctuaries keep appearing, with no history
in the FIV/FeLV community.

Re: [Felvtalk] Neurological disorders in FelV cats

2009-03-12 Thread Doggone Fit
I have not been following this thread, so please excuse my reply if it 
is out of context.
I have a 2 year old felv+ experiencing neurological disorders as well. 
Come to find out, some of his meds (stone/bladder issues) were causing 
it. We discontinued meds and he is now at about 90%. Much more 
comfortable than he was.

Yes, neurological disorders for sure.  I had a FelV kitten who
lost control of her back legs as well as bladder control.  She
was a sweetheart who is now at the Rainbow Bridge.

Maybe dementia is a bad word... I'm pretty sure Felv can cause
neurological disorders?  Someone correct me if I'm wrong.



  

My felv+ cat is also the most loving and friendly cat that I have
had so much personality.
