I also have an offer to foster a large group of FELV+ cats from one of our
members in
Vermont:
Super
This is the concern. A positive test is a quick death sentence and even for the
negatives that are running free with the positives.
We won't euthanize them if you can find them a foster or permanent home.
Have you any idea what kind of numbers we are talking about??
Not really. We only know that out of 11 adult cats taken from Angel
Wings, one
male has tested positive for aids. There are about 50 more cats at the
sanctuary.
Is Peaceful Kingdom a local rescue group in TN?
Yes, their web page is www.peacefulkingdom.org
And Kara and Holly?
Holly runs the Stray Connection. Kara is a volunteer with the Stray
Connection and an Angel Wings board member. Five rescue groups, including the
SC and
PK, are working together to help save the Angel Wings cats. We asked for
donations
to go to PK since that group is the most neutral as far as Rehnee is concerned.
I think now, what we need to get an idea of, is about how many cats you predict
will
test FELV+, so I can give Tad an estimate and see if he has enough room for
them all,
and we need to think about arranging transportation.
There is absolutely no way to predict this, which I know is
frustrating. As
long as we don't get any Felv positive cats, the odds are that the numbers will
be
low. But we've only just beginning to take cats out.
How far are any of your local volunteers willing to drive north?
Have no idea but I could send an e-mail to all east TN rescue groups
and see
if anyone is going that way.

I collect KMR kitten formula labels for Bazil, a 3 yr old special needs cat who
must
live on a liquid diet for the rest of his life.
Bazil's caretaker collects labels and sends them to KMR, where they add up
until she
earns a free can of formula!
PLEASE save your KMR kitten formula labels for Bazil!
If you use KMR, even just one can, please ask me for the mailing address you
can send
them to, to help feed Bazil!
