Re: [Felvtalk] (no subject)

Yes, I have thought about buying land in the middle of nowhere. Normally, however, that would bethe kiss of death to any sanctuary. It is very diffcult; fortunately I have time to work it out in my mind. On Sat, Aug 1, 2009 at 1:49 PM, MaryChristine wrote: > they owe much of their ability to ha

Re: [Felvtalk] (no subject)

This is a subject I've been interested in for a while, as I one day want to start my own sanctuary (with help of course). Best Friends is open to the public, and has no problem with people dumping - I have asked people who worked there and they said it wasn't an issue, and I asked what they would d

Re: [Felvtalk] PUREVAX FELV vaccine

I have not, but Purevax rabies vaccine is widely believed to be both the best vaccine and the least likely to cause VAS. It is also more expensive, and not all vet clinics carry it. On Thu, Jul 2, 2009 at 12:46 PM, wrote: > I just heard about the PUREVAX FELV vaccine. This is administered with

Thinking of asking an AC to communicate with him, but I have no pictures:( We've had brutal dry and heat here or I don't think he would have come so close to the store. On Thu, Jul 2, 2009 at 4:27 PM, MaryChristine wrote: > GLOW for sweet max... > > cats should NOT be snacks for coyotes. > > -- >

[Felvtalk] Please add Max to CLS

Ok, well, here we go with my day. My mother woke me up at 7:15 am calling me after I went to bed at 3 am. I had a friend move out of town and bring over her nice desk and filing cabinets last night, also some cat litter she didn't need. I asked my boyfriend to put the cat litter in the house, and
