I wasn't following this string but just so you know, unless things have changed...this sanctuary does not separate FeLV positive from FIV positive cats. Also, if at all possible, it is best for kitty to live in a home and not be exposed to so many other cats with illnesses. He or she will live

just to cause more trouble, as i'm so good at doing, not separating is NOT necessarily the worse thing, if death is the only alternative. FIVs are generally the healthiest populations at any sanctuary, and they throw off FeLV at the same or possibly a higher rate than any other
