I've been busy as hell in rescue. Cats/kittens are coming out of the woodwork! The fact my mother is dying as well. Doctors are only giving her 1-3 months to live. She is still young (66 will be 67 on August 2nd) If she hangs on we will be throwing a B-B-Q Birthday for her. She had us kids when she was young and still got her education as she promised my grandparents. My parents were in the military and retired Lab/Dog and Siamese Cat breeders. They were respected and recognized in WA. state. We traveled the world as youngsters as well. I'm 50 years old. I wanted to let those of you know I'm so sorry to hear of your precious kitties that have went to the bridge. The day will come when you will be together again. For you new members this is the best group of people to get support and knowledge from. They have helped me with my FELV kitties and Non-FELV kitties. Thank you to those that have decided to let their kitties live regardless of what their Vets have said. I have to tell you I have mix both Felv/Non-Felv kitties in my home. Nobody that was negative has died from FELV. They died of old age or other illnesses. I do get their vaccinations when needed. There are some that do separate the Felvs from the Non-Felvs on this group. Anyway enjoy your kitties. Many can live for years then others like my Taz didn't make it pass 2 years old. Good food and love is the key factor here.

Re: [Felvtalk] Welcome to new members and saying Hello
Hi Terrie, I am so sorry to hear what you are going through with your mom. Just as a little bit of hope, my dad is the same age as your mom and his doctor gave him 1 month to 1 year to live over 2 and a half years ago. We thought it was really the end just before last Christmas, he couldn't walk to the bathroom without passing out, was shivering all the time and sleeping all day. His doctors acted like this was just the inevitable progression of his disease. Turns out it was his meds. They finally let him lower his blood-pressure medication and he woke up, started eating healthy, exercising a tiny bit, and is enjoying his life again. His condition is still ultimately fatal, but this reprieve has been wonderful. Hoping she has many barbeques to come... Hugs, Beth ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
