Re: [Felvtalk] FELV+ Emergency in Austin, TX
Kelly, I can understand the second test and yea you need to wait that time. Im sorry that you cant find anyone in your area to hold the cat for the 6 weeks but please DON'T try and put down sanctuaries. We like any rescue look for donations and the good will of people to help us help the animals. Yes almost all sanctuaries that take an animal for life ask for fees( some more than others) but your talking the care and vetting for what could be 10 or so years and with FeLV that can get really expensive.

Re: [Felvtalk] FELV+ Emergency in Austin, TX
The prblem with rescue groups right now, is that with people loosing jobs and homes, there is no more room. We have 3 groups within driving distance here and they and their fosters are all full up. They have had to turn animals away because they do not have enough room or people to care for them. That is one reason why I am hoping to build an outdoor shelter, I could take in more cats then. Right now, I am full up with 7 indoor/outdoor cats. Can't really afford to feed and buy litter for more.

Someone wrote me asking for help, this is her description of him: He is slated to be euthanized at 5pm today. This boy is very affectionate, loving to be held, petted, scratched, etc. He was even purring while being petted at the counter at the vet's office with all the strange scents and animal noises going on! He's pretty sick at the moment. Vet says he's extremely anemic. That's why he hasn't been eating much. And the heat has exacerbated the problem since he's been an outdoor cat. Vet also says the condition is treatable, but the treatment makes him very infectious. So what he needs is an indoor home either in a one-cat household or in a house where all the cats are feline leukemia positive. It's breaking my heart because he's such a sweetie. I'm hoping to find someone who can provide a home for this baby so he won't have to be euthanized. I've asked for pics etc I also asked for an extra day which is hopefully being negotiated.

[Felvtalk] FELV+ Emergency in Austin, TX
Hey folks, got an emergency with a possible FELV+ cat in Austin, Texas. He's had one snap test (and that's with the felv/fiv/heartworm test, which we know there are a lot of false +s with).

Re: [Felvtalk] FELV+ Emergency in Austin, TX
Hey all, I was unable to get a picture - this is what the finder said: Argh! I went down to the vet immediately after getting your email to take a picture. The camera looked like it was working, but when i got home the directory was corrupted and the pictures unreadable. He is almost solid black. There's a tiny white patch on his chest. He has green eyes, short hair, and is medium sized for a tomcat. He is extremely thin. There are big hollows behind his rib cage. And it seems a little uncomfortable for him when I run my hand down over his bony hips. I got him to the vet because he looked like he was starving to death in spite of the dry and wet food I was providing. And honestly, he was. I spent about half an hour visiting with the cat. He is about 100% better after 2 days in the a/c eating Fancy Feast. When I brought him to the vet, his meows were barely audible and he did not twitch his tail. His eyes were full of wet matter and he wasn't grooming. Today he seems like he may be a bit of a talker. When I spoke to him, he often replied. His tail was very communicative. While his eyes are still a little runny, he was cleaning his face and keeping the mess to a minimum. And while he wasn't unnecessarily vocal, if I got up to leave before he was done being petted, he was most vociferous. :) Cheered my heart to see the improvement. Also, I witnessed him grooming. He did seem to get a bit tired after 20 minutes or so and was content to just sit beside me and stretch out. The vet agreed to keep him one more night. They close at noon tomorrow. Hopefully we can find him a home before then. Thank you all for your help. Come on guys, I know someone wants a scrappy tomcat who's down on his luck - remember he may not even be FELV+! (probably with the anemia he is, but we don't know for sure!) I can transport or meet in the middle if a reasonable driving range from TX. If not maybe we can set up a transport, but someone's got to step forward for him.
