[Felvtalk] Black Tom Update
Black Tom, the cat for whom I was trying to find placement, now has 3 offers (thank you ALL who offered). Unfortunately he is not in a state yet where he can travel, and I don't know if he will be. I called the vet Saturday, and he was eating all his food, drinking and eliminating normally, which are all good signs, but they had not repeated bloodwork in a while to see what that is doing. When he was brought in, he had a rbc of *7%*. At any rate, he has been at the vets now for 2 weeks. I don't think the person who was feeding him (he was in a feral colony, but not feral) has a lot of money, so I wanted to see if we could start a fund to help defray his costs. I could start a chipin, or give you the vet's name and address if you would like to donate directly. If he makes it and the bill is covered completely, the remainder could go to the sanctuary who takes him as a donation, or if he does not make it any extra money could be returned or go to help other cats in need. I think he will be at the vet's office for at least several more weeks. Let me know what you think. Thank you all so much for being a GREAT FELV resource. I have been here for years now and yall have come through EVERY TIME I needed a placement for an FELV cat.

Re: [Felvtalk] Black Tom Update
7%is bad, but I had count of 3.4% and made it back. Would it help him if you had him at your home. Cages in a vet's office are not the greatest place to be. It is like being in the hospital. The vet and techs cannot give him all the love he could get at home. Is he staying there because he could infect someone else or you are afraid someone else woul infect him?
