Hi. I am new to the list, and there was no text message that I saw but your
subject header got my attention. If your cat is not having any bowel
movements and products like Laxatone are not helping, do NOT wait too many
days before taking your cat to the veterinarian. He 'may' have Mega-colon

Hi, Lorrie, I read with interest your post and wanted to weigh in on an
interesting circumstances that happened at our sanctuary some years ago
which made us determine that we had to test every cat and kitten in a
litter. We had a mother cat come in who was pregnant. She was NEGATI

If you are considering any sanctuary for your animals, please visit that
sanctuary personally to see how the animals are cared for and if it is what

I agree Susan, the more humans available, the more likely the sanctuary to
be a good one. There are a few 'in home' ones that are good too. Depending
on how many animals you can handle financially. We started with only one
building and we now have a brand new sixth one being completed inside (with
Hi Roxanne, Keep working with him. I'd treat all the symptoms first and see
how he is after that. There is always a chance for finding a place for him
too. Give him a chance and see if all the health problems don't work
themselves out. If not, then you know you did everything you possibly could
Chris, saw your note on ringworm. I'm new here but have bouts of ringworm at
our sanctuary occasionally, particularly with my FIV felines as it is harder
for them to fight off. It will resolve itself on its own in time, but for

You can get it through your veterinarian as ours uses it exclusively in their
office to disinfect. But it might be more expensive? perhaps. CarmenI saw

Hi Sue, Glad to hear you are letting Buzz out into the general population. We
have had good success with mixing our FeLV kits with non positive cats. We have
had 4 different felines who lived in close association with the other felines
and they did NOT have a FeLV vaccination either. They never

;s good to hear of the success stories. My other cats chase each
other a lot but I don't think they do much biting. Charllie is the loveable
one who thinks it is his job to wash everybody, though. He is the one I am
most worried about.

Hi, Michelle, Your post caught my attention. I would tend to agree with your
veterinarian about the one month time for testing. Even for kittens. I have
worked with Feline Leukemia cats since 1985 and we currently have around 25-35

We work with a large number of special needs animals and yes, we have had
experience with a negative mother (several tests) who had five kittens and 3
were negative and two were positive. So we have to test all kittens and mom
from any litters we might see even if mom is negative. I've seen thi
Michelle, I am relatively new to the group, but I do agree with Beth that it is
important to test all the kittens. We used to do what your vet said y ears ago,
then discovered on more than one occasion since, that if a mom is negative it
does not mean the kittens ARE negative. We had a case whe
That's really good news!! We've seen a lot of pos. moms and many of the kittens
are negative. And on occasion we had a negative mom (on three tests) have 2
pos. kittens out of five. the rest were negative. We learned then we had to
test every kitten every time, no matter what. that was a long t
We have 40 FeLV cats (and several kittens) at our special needs sanctuary

I am writing in response to Lauries note about Isabella. I have had several
