Hi everyone,I am just in shock over this. I knew Brenda's last evaluation for her heart had been fine, and I didn't know she had been ill.  Brenda was a wonderful person and I will miss her very much. I got to know her from babysitting Lovey and Merry before they moved on to Wisconsin. I spoke with her on the phone several times but never got to meet her in person. I read the message earlier this week and have not really known how to react. It seems somehow strange to be so attached to someone I've ony known online or on the phone, but I was very overwhelmed with grief and can only imagine how Brenda's family must feel at this time. Brenda was truly a blessing to everyone who knew her and I will miss her. Janine, please know that you can always contact any of us for help with the cats or anything you need.TonyaBelinda Sauro

But I had to write in for Brenda.  She was an angel on earth, so heaven must

 passed away this Monday.  Brenda didn't post often so many of you may
 not be familar with her.  She was a wonderful, loving member of this
 group for many, many years and recently adopted two positives Lovey and
 Merry in March of 2005.  She was also in charge of the list emergency
 fund and the FeLV T-Shirts that the group sold, in fact she contracted
 the artist and company that designed and printed them.

 I've known Brenda for many years and am going to miss her immensly, her
 passing is a huge loss for the group.  For those of you who did know her
 and would like to offer condolences to her family, you can email her
 address [EMAIL PROTECTED] and her daughter will receive them.  This
 is a very sad week and heaven most definately has a very special angel
 today.  I know she was greeted by many, many pets including her precious
 Suzy Q whose loss she never recovered from.

 Brenda enjoy all your babies and we'll all see you soon enough ...

I don't remember Brenda posting lately, had she been having
complications? I remember that harrowing trip that she and her
daughter took to pick up Lovey and Merry and her talking about how well
her check up had gone at the time. That was about a year ago. She was
quite a lady, she will be sorely missed. I'm so sorry. I saved her
poem that she wrote in tribute to felv kitties. It says so much about
her. Here it is:

I wrote this tribute to all feline leukemia kitties in December,
2000. It is still as true today as it was then. For all who don't
know eating cheesecake means a cure has been found for Feline
Leukemia. One of the long term listers wrote an email several years
ago and said "when they find a cure for this disease, we will all eat
cheesecake."

The Best of Us
 a tribute....by Brenda K. Smith


He holds their sick bodies
 The creator of man
In his gentle, loving hands
 As only He can.

We question their existence
 How can they survive
Why were they created
 Should they be alive?

What is their purpose
 Their short life on earth
Are they angels to guide us
 To grant us our worth?

Do they teach us great lessons
 Have our lives been enriched
Are these little creatures
 Our wise teachers in this?

They leave us far richer
 Than when they began
Our lives touched so deeply
 These small companions of man.

We seek the great wisdom
 From the Holy Spirit above
Why has He brought us
 These little angels to love.

We may never know
 The answers we seek
Why these tiny bodies
 Endure such pain until weak.

Upon this birthday of Christ
 We are blessed from above
By these angels of light
 Who have taught us such love.

Their presence forever
 Will abide in our hearts
The souls of these beings
 From us will not part.

Some day there'll be joy
 Part of His master plan
No more sickness to endure
 A well and full life span.

Soon our tears will be dried
 Our sorrow will abate
The cure WILL be found
 And we will eat cheesecake!

 that I found something zuzu seems to be interested in eating (atleast for now) and even better news is that my other kitty Violet does not seem to like it. I gave her some spot stew for cats. I use to give it to the dogs but never thought about it for the cats. she is gobbling up the really mushy part of it and leaving the chunks. I am just so glad she is eating something. Hopefully it will last. I also got some the frozen raw food to try if and when this stops working. Please keep her in your thoughts. I am hoping we turned the corner.

2005-08-13 Thread Nina

Brenda,
Thank you so much for taking the time to post your sweet amazing story 
about Ticker!   Not only is it inspirational, but it may save lives!!!  
That bit about Ticker being bottle fed for six months brought a sad 
little smile to my face.  My angels loved their baba too!  I let someone 
that I respected talk me into weaning them completely off the bottle, 
even though I wanted to continue until they refused.  Never again will I 
listen to someone else when my heart tells me no!


I'd like to send your story to my IBD group, there are so many suffering 
with this disease that may be encouraged by your story.  I've never 
heard of Booda Mix...  There's a woman on the list that has been 
struggling desperately to find a fiber that will work for her kitty, 
maybe this is it!  Can you tell me more about it? 

Your story also moved me to finally check out your page, (to get a 
glimpse of your Ticker).  I gasped when I saw your beautiful boy, he 
looks so much like my beloved Jazz!  The life you and your husband have 
created for yourselves is my dream come true!  Could I come live with you?


Thank you again,
Nina

  Peri. He is at least 9-1/2 years old (I've had him for 7-1/2 years) and 
  has absolutely no symptoms of FELV. I adopted two more Felv+ cats from 
  the Athens, GA area, where they still use gas chambers to put to sleep at 
  their shelters, last February and have them both on a daily dose. I 
  would HIGHLY recommend the daily dose of 30 units which equals 1 ml 
  daily. Keep it refrigerated and squirt toward the back of the throat 
  slowly. It is absorbed through the mucous membranes at the back of the 
  throat. I get my Interferon from Island 
  Pharmacy. They are based in Wisconsin about 90 miles from me. In 
  winter I pay $40.00 for 100 ml and $7 or $8 for shipping since I get it next 
  day or in 2 days with cold packs. When I have my vet write for all three 
  cats, then I get 300 ml for $44.00. When the pharmacy can mix more of 
  the Interferon in the batch it costs less, but you have to have the 
  prescription in all three names. I had to just reorder for my three and 
  even though they are close to me because it has been so hot, I had to pay for 
  overnight shipping which was $18 something I think. If I were you I 
  would ask your vet to write a script for 100 ml at a time and give it 1 ml 
  every day. Unless I read new research that suggests giving daily is not 
  the protocol to use, I will continue to do so. Right now my three are 
  healthy, happy and act like normal wonderful cats. Peri is at least 
  9-1/2 years, Lovey is about 1-1/2 years and Merry is around 2 
  years. My very best to you and Deirdre. I hope 
  she has many, many wonderful years with you. :)-- 

 Brenda.

I want to thank everyone who responded here. It appears that human 
interferon dies when it's hot and everyone charges $20-28 for special 
over night cold pack shipping. So I paid $50 for 60mls of interferon. 
The interferon itself only cost $28, but the shipping was $22.

After 4 days on it, her lymph nodes under her chin have gotten much 
smaller. They've been enlarged since a month ago when she had a cold. 
I was amazed that there was an improvement so quickly.

My vet and I are unsure whether to do the "7 days on 7 days off" 
routine with the interferon or just give her 1 ml a day forever. What 
are you folks doing? What do you think works best? And is everyone 
giving 1ml/daily?

Re: Brenda, Lovey, and Merry, and Cherie

Tonya,
Thanks for asking, I did get Sprinkles today...it was a long boring ride to Wisconsin, but we made it through. I had my vet check her out and he said it looks like an injury not ringworm. I am not sure if I can explain it, she is a silver Persian and on her tummy by her left leg is brownish and her left thigh is a brownish, like possible new hair growth, way to big to be ringworm unless she was infested by it. I do not know why she could not have told me it was a injury, she also gave me Fulvicin capsules to give in the moring and night, but again why would she be treating it like this.
Spinkles is a little skittish and has not eaten yet either not nearly as lovey as Sugar, but we will work on that.
Hopefully I can get her to stay long enough to snap a picture...then I will figure out how to post it or ask James.
Again thanks for asking
Cherie

I have to go to bed. Has anyone heard if Brenda made it home with the kitties?

Did Cherie go get her new kitten?
