traditionalc...@gmail.com is a place you can post about breeder experiences if the breeder does not cooperate with you or if you want to make sure other buyers know about the FeLV. Laurie

But I'd like to suggest that it is really important to follow through with the breeder that you bought these kittens from. I'm not quite sure the best path to follow in doing that though. Maybe you have already contacted him or her. It seems critical to me that the breeder not sell more infected kittens to people that may be less compassionate than you are and who may drop them off at a shelter. And also that the breeder not dump the kittens somewhere outside or leave them at a shelter herself. Having been a dedicated shelter volunteer, my perspective is that it often just spreads the tragedy for contagious kittens and cats to go into a shelter environment. And of course, the breeder REALLY needs to contact other customers whose cats may be infected to stop the spread of the disease in their homes.There really is no good way for a breeder to go forward from something like this and I imagine there may be some who would just like to ignore the whole issue and hope it goes away. _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
