Hi Belinda, I like this version too. I don't have a problem with your old version, but I've had to learn over the years to treat the average idiot with kid gloves. (not real kid leather. no leather. lol)I have a couple of offerings for you to consider on this letter in red. First I would put the 3rd and 4th paragraphs before the 2nd.Belinda [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Here is the revised version, thank you for your help!!Belinda here, I admin the ads, and there are no "Free To Good Home" ads allowed, none is the same as FREE. This is very dangerous for the cat asthere are all kinds of lunatics out there that many people are not aware of. You must be very cautious and very carefully check out anyone
who expresses an interest in your cat.Some people obtain free cats to train pit bulls to fight, and they are killed in a very violent and gruesome manner by these vicious animals. Then there are people who feed them to snakes as meals (some large exotic snakes require live food). There are crazy people who obtain free animals solely to abuse them. Others, referred to as "bunchers", buy them to make money by selling them to labs, where they are ultimately destroyed after enduring some horrific treatment. These bunchers get anywhere from $30 to $100 dollars a pet from these labs.Giving an animal away FREE is very dangerous for that animal and I personally would rather euthanise a pet than take a chance that they could end up in a horrible situation.I get emails every single day about some poor pet that has endured horrible things until they finally died or were killed. I have
even been told by some of my rescues how a whole family will come to look at an adoptee making them appear quite normal, only to find out later the pet was tortured again and again until it finally died or was killed. Please, please be very, very careful who you hand this cat over to, he is depending on you to make sure he is safe when he goes to his new home!! Thank you.I'm not saying this to be mean, believe me I know these kinds of things happen a hundred times a day to innocent animals. I've changed your ad to read negotiable. Please contact me for more information about screening a prospective adoptor for your cat if you wish.These links provide more informationabout just how dangerous free ads can be for your
cat:http://www.theanimalspirit.com/adopt.htmlhttp://www.petrescue.com/library/free-pet.htmhttp://www.parrett.net/animalaid/free.htmlI belong to a group of people who are all owned by FeLV+, most if not all have other cats who are negative. Some let their cats mix some don't, it's a personal preference thing.I personally had 6 cats, my Bailey was my positive, he was + at 5 months of age. I just lost him last month to anemia at 11 years of age, he wasn't sick for all of those years. I just lost him in May after a 5 month illness to what turned out to be cancer. He lived, ate, slept, played with, groomed and on occasion had spats with all his vaccinated, negative housemates for all those years and nobody ever got it from him. It is almost impossible for a healthy, adult cat to get it from a positive and if they ever did the healthy adult cats immune system would fight it
off.The bottom line isfelv isn't as contagious as most vets would have you believe. I would encourage you to join our group and find out about the many members who mix positive and negative cats who live for years with no problems and no transmission of disease.
