Hi, all. I used to belong to this group a few years ago when my positives were
still alive-- we lost Patches, the last of them, last September at the age of 8
or 9.
?I am writing to beg your help finding a home for an incredible positive cat
who is currently living outside. I started a Trap-Neuter-Return project in my
town a few months ago and we are trapping at a large apartment complex. Tonight
a tenant showed me an extremely gorgeous and affectionate cat who lives outside
her building. She and her neighbor feed him. Apparently he was abandoned a
couple years ago when a tenant moved out. Another tenant took him in got him
tested and he tested FeLV+. That tenant then moved out and reabandoned him. One
of the tenants who currently feeds him can't take him in because she lives in a
small apartment with negative cats. The other has no cats and takes him in for
a night now and then in the winter, but will not keep him because he howls to
go back outside. I am sure he would get over that in a few weeks, and don't
think he should be outside another winter with his immune-compromised condition
(not to mention that there are other cats? there and some people in the complex
have complained about their cats getting out and coming back FeLV+).
Would you consider taking this cat, or do you know someone who might? I will
try to get a picture of him. He's a really great cat-- the type of cat you meet
and immediately think what a great cat! Very personable.
My house is currently full of negatives, both my own and fosters, and is
divided into 4 areas with animals that can't meet, so I have nowhere to put him
myself. I have use of a retired boarder's kennel for short-term holds, and can
put him there temporarily, though I hate to stress him out by caging him.
Will appreciate any help you can give finding this boy a home.
thanks,
Michelle Lerner
