I have a cat who also has several bb's in him (lost his eye to one) and has severe agression problems with other cats, Prozac has definitely helped, though unfortunately the violent outbursts are so bad he still can't live with others. It did not seem to dope him up like Amitriptylene does to some

Interesting response Dorlis. Almost makes them sound human. I am amazed at how folks can write or say one thing and do the very opposite. The vet at the PETA SNIP van said PETA insisted all feral FeLV and FIV positives be killed even if they were going to be sanctuaried inside. I'm guessin

Hi everyone.  Anyone know of any cat sanctuaries in PA or OH for FeLV+ cats.  The mother and father cats of my kittens are semi-feral and not fixed.  I went to the vet today to make appointments to get them fixed and they want me to euthanize them instead to protect other cats.  However, I don't

We have trapped two large groups. In each group one was FeLV+. None of the others were. The asymptomatic FeLV was returned to the colony. The other guy was very sick so he was euthanized. Someone on this list had a negative living with a group of positives for about 6 years. He never tested positiv

Agreed. Also, be very careful about so-called "sanctuaries." You really need to visit them personally to be sure they are decent places. So many seem to crash and burn amid allegations of abuse and neglect. --- On Wed, 12/9/09, Laurieskatz wrote: > From: Laurieskatz > Subject: Re: [Felvtal
