Re: need help - cause of unknown nonregenerative anemia
My first guess is FELV. I assume she's been tested, right? How about retested if she was previously negative?

Re: Pippin is home from her spay :)
Bones was practically hanging upside down from the top of the crate after her spay, howling at the top of her lungs. I finally decided she'd get LESS exercise being out and walking around the house than she was getting CLIMBING the cage. She healed fine without the cage rest, LOL!

Re: about exposed FIP cat that needs a home/The Big Picture
You'd be shocked at the actual definition of no kill in shelter circles. In most, it simply means that when they run out of space, they stop taking in new animals, rather than just killing the ones that have been there the longest. Their testing policy, and euthanasia policy outside of the space issue has NO RELATION to their thinking of themselves as no kill. There are countless shelters listed on many lists as no kill, shelters that PROUDLY claim to be no kill, shelters that picket-toting hard-core activists support as no kill, yet, the vast majority of them, if you browse the list of cats they have up for adoption, all say cat has been tested negative for FELV and FIV, and they don't list a single FELV+ or FIV+ cat on their website for adoption. If you take the time to email them and ask, Do you adopt out FELV+ or FIV+ cats? most of them either choose to NOT REPLY, or reply back and say they don't. No kill? I don't think so... but the majority of people in rescue circles consider them no kill. To me, no kill means that you DON'T KILL any animals unless it is SUFFERING and BEYOND the point of recovery. Not so for most people though.

I know there are more, but it gets tedious after a while since petfinder hasn't managed to put a way to mark the cat as FIV or FELV positive in the search results yet. Anyways, there are a few to choose from, I'm sure any one of them would be an awesome companion.

Re: great adopter seeking Leuk+ orange young cat
You're welcome... I know there are more cats than that, orange tabby are so common, and so many have FELV, it's just that petfinder is not a perfect system, so they are hard to find. Another option certainly worth considering is adopting ANY cat from a high kill city animal control shelter, even if it is a FELV- cat. So what if the cat gets FELV from it's companion, every DAY it has in that adoptive home is one more days than that cat had in the shelter! I'd say if they had the choice, any cat would probably choose to be exposed to FELV over DEATH at a kill shelter!

Re: Slightly Confused
You're just getting answers to questions that were asked BEFORE you joined. Once you've been here a couple of months (or as soon as a few weeks, if we are slow on volume), you'll be all caught up on all the various topics. No, there's no website (like yahoogroups), it's all in email. There are, however, archives of the OLD group emails (but you can't reply to them from the archives). You get the emails as they are sent, because we have members all over the world, and in all time zones, and from people with all different work schedules, you will get them at all hours of the day and night. We do have a digest mode, if you would rather get all the emails in a group in one bigger email. I can tell you how to change your settings if you would like to try that. (though here in eastern USA, it's bedtime, so I probably wont get that info out to you until tomorrow after work) Phaewryn Please save Whitey! http://ucat.us/Whitey.html VT low cost SpayNeuter, and Emergency Financial Assistance for cat owners: http://ucat.us/VermontLowCost.html Special Needs Cat Resources: http://ucat.us/domesticcatlinks.html
