You put a smile on my face because so much you
have said I can relate to over the last 5 years here in Spain regarding the 5
strays that I have added to my house hold. its so nice to know you are not the
only fool around.
good luck to both of

Hi Nina, I have read some post about Starman and he sounds like a great kitty...Remember that I didn't find out about Bandy being FIV+ until last summer and he has lived with my others since 2001...they are all neg...So I would have to agree with what Tonya said about giving him a chance...Maybe
don't worry about the bite, I have had a few of them in the last 4 years
with the boys that where intact, they seem a little more unpredictable, but
after beening neutered do settle down, and I have never been bitten since
they have had the chop. good luck and I am so happy that he is in good
Thanks Sandra,
Bites and scratches come with the territory. I'm usually pretty smug
about the fact that I'm good at reading them well enough to avoid dog
and cat bites, (I'm a dog trainer and work with some problem dog
children too). I just wasn't paying enough attention. Star has his
Yes, that definitely describes Charlie. But he is also very meek--
he's this HUGE cat and one time a little twerpy pipsqueak kitten who was about 3
months old and very small ran over and hit him on the head and he actually
cowered. He is the biggest pacifist I know. The woman who adopted
Kerry, is Bandy FeLV+ too?
Patches, who is FeLV+, tested FIV+ at her last vet visit as well.
Hideyo said it could be a false positive.

Hi Nina,

Hello everyone,
I'm so sad and I'm reaching out to you guys for comfort and ideas about
what to do for my new charge, Starman. I know I've mentioned him to some
of you already, (we were calling him Manix, because he has a nub of a tail).
The first time I saw him was a couple of months ago,
Nina, you should definitely post on the 2 yahoo FIV lists. I found a
home for Charlie, from the shelter, that way (though we had to drive him to VA
from MA!)

Thanks Michelle. I'll look up the FIV lists. It's encouraging to hear
that you found someone a home that way. I'd be willing to do whatever
I had to to transport him to the right home. I thought I'd try the
feral cat group you posted about before too. I want to get pictures of
him before I
I'm in Oxnard CA. It's north of Los Angeles and south of Santa Barbara.

Nina,
I definitely hear defeat in your voice, so before you
make any decisions about Starman, you might want to
give yourself some time to recoup. Your outlook on
this whole situation will affect the decisions you
make, so time is going to be your ally in this
situation.
You have a perfectly
I know. I hate that Quincy is confined that way in my house. But I do not
know what else to do. I do not want to mix my positives and him, but even
if I did he can not be around other cats. The reason I have him is that my
friend rescued him but he bit a hole through one of her cat's tail
Nina,
Get some Collidal Silver to put in his water to help him get over his URI.
I usually use 20 ppm strength, and just add a dropperful to the water dish
each time I change the water. Once he is not sounding so congested, have
him neutered. Being that he is an older Tom, it may take 6 weeks
My feline family sadly has been reduced from 6 to 4, due too OUR RED BOY

on our door step, AND WAS WITH US FOR 4 YEARS, Chang was the last to be
welcomed to our Villa, where upon he was only with us for 18 months,
Kat,
Thanks for the suggestions regarding Starman. I do have some CS
somewhere in the house, I'll have to look for it. I got it a while ago
and chickened out in trying it. I'm already adding RR and BioPlasma to
his water, should I put all three in there, or just the CS?
When I met Star I
Thanks Sandra for sharing the stories about your fur friends and the
encouraging words for me and Star. I'm already feeling a bit better
about the whole thing. Star is not felv pos, he's FIV, you know the
cat HIV. You sound like our kind of people. It's always nice to meet
others that

Nina,As soon as you said 'big intact male' I KNEW he was going to be fiv positive. Since you asked for opinions I'm going to give you mine. I hope you don't take offense.We had a stray cat living around our lake house that we visit on weekends only. He looked horrible. His ears were all
Michelle,I have often wondered about Charlie and couldn't remember what had happened. You had been through so much I was afraid to ask. Wasn't he the coolest? FIV cats (males anyway) are. Our felv cats are special of course, but I've never met an fiv cat that wasn't just a laid back lover.
Kat knows more about cs than I do, but I recall when I was on the holisticat list there were varying opinions about it. Some even said it was dangerous. I don't remember enough about it to say much besides I remember choosing not to use it even though I know a lot of people do.Also, if you can
Tonya I agree with you about FIV+ cats being just the biggest sweetest critters.The sanctuary I volunteer at has about 50 fiv+.I have one I am fostering and I am bringing another beautiful guy home this Thursday.They are just the sweetest. sherrycatatonya [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:Nina,As
Hey gang,
Thanks for all the encouragement about Starman. I have heard everything
you're saying about FIV kitties before. I'm just so paranoid about
subjecting any of my guys to the remotest possibility of danger. You
guys know how darn protective I am. I would be hesitant to introduce
And Nina,Is this the guy you posted about on AC? I was given the same website about not 'interfering' with ferals because they have their own purpose. It's interesting. But if Starman is throwing himself at your window and crying for you I think it's because he is meant to be with YOU.I
definite GLOW for your big galoot!
I always thought those big FIV cats are just the
sweetest - just never heard anyone come out and say
that!
Lucky person who gets found by one of those cats - my
big, scary looking guy was the best cat I've ever
lived with. My husband went from calling him a
monster - this was fear I think for
Hey Nina,The last feral I brought in. Calico, female, Mama Kitty, not positive anything Anyway, if I pet her too much, and sometimes when I pick her up she will bite me. She loves to snuggle and have me pet her, BUT sometimes she just kind of freaks out. I have to remember
