Marissa - I think these kitties become so precious to us in part because so many people view FeLV kitties as throw aways. We feel extra protective because people don't understand why we go through this. All my FeLV kitties that have passed were my most precious babies. I didn't want to

Marissa, My heart just dropped when I saw your subject line, but was happy to hear that Slinky had not yet passed. I am the ever hopeful type, and usually refuse to give up. Some people call that stubborn; I call it perseverance. I just don't want to give up on Slinky yet; he's fighting so

Marissa, I'm saddened to read that Slinky is so anemic and not doing well. It's wonderful that you've be able to spend some time with him doing things he likes, and that he is somehow managing to hang in there. I'm also sorry that you have a tough day at work tomorrow right after what may be his
