For the uti/turvite crystals, try an eye dropper of Bragg's raw vinegar in his 
watr.  Harley had this problem and after I started the vinegar, no more 
problems with crystals.

Thank you everyone I am feeling better this morning your kind words mean the

One of my girlfriends had a double mastectomy and chemo and thank god she has 
been cancer free for four years. She also said if it comes back she will not do 
chemo again only alternative.

I might have already told you this so I am sorry if I am repeating (and that my 
post is so long!) Tucker had a urinary blockage, and it resulted in a catheter 
being placed at the emergency vet to save his life. When they removed the 
catheter he blocked right back up. I opted to do the pu surgery where they 
remove the penis and pull the urethra to make it wider, it was either this or 
put him down. A month or so after the surgery he blocked. I took him in and 
they could not insert a catheter, the hole had completely closed. I opted to 
redo the surgery, again it was life or death. The dr was worried he would not 
be able to pull the urethra any more as he really stretched it the first time. 
Luckily he was able to pull it past the stricture. Unfortunately the opening 
again closed quite a bit, even smaller than before surgeries, but he can still 
urinate.  He is prone to UTIs which causes crystals which in turn cause 
blockages. So I have an arsenal of meds on hand from my vet so I can treat him 
at the first sign of infection. He only eats him prescription food and I give 
him glucosamine every day. Needless to say I was in a constant state of worry 
even before the lymphoma diagnosis.
So if we didn't already have this life threatening problem and I hadn't already 
spent over 8,000 of my retirement money I probably would have jumped right on 
the chemo. 

And I still think anyone who's cats immunity is suffering because of felv 
should try the life gold, or ES clear.  It is $30 and lasts three months. It 
has a money back 90 day guarantee. I found this story on the Internet and 
decided to try the treatment plan. Yes, it might not work and chances are that 
I will lose my baby due to a blockage or the cancer but today he feels great, 
and I have a tiny bit of hope. Here is the link to the story it included chemo 
that unfortunately  didn't work and a last ditch effort holistic approach that 
by some miracle saved the day.

Yes, it was that group, and they continued to make me feel horrible even
after I tried to explain my circumstances, and why I was trying something
else. I was told over and over flat out that holistic does not work and my
cat would die soon. If my situation with Tucker was different I would have
done chemo, I would never tell someone not to do chemo on their pet. Even if
someone said they would do nothing at all "palliative care" I would support
them, as it is so painful to lose an animal no matter what you choose. I
pray every day that I am giving Tucker QOL and that he defies the odds and
lasts as long as he would have with Chemo. My parents did (very
expensive)chemo on two of their cats, and they did not do well, they
suffered as my parents had a hard time giving up, they live with a lot of
guilt for the lack of QOL. I know this is not always the case and many
animals do extremely well and even go into remission, you just never know
how an animal will respond or how long they will last. If Tucker does not
continue to do well on his current path I might consider trying traditional,
if I can somehow do it through my vet, you never know I am only on day 17
and it has been a rough journey. It would cost me about 1,000.00 just to go
and get an ultrasound and biopsy from a specialist, and I am not by any
means wealthy and have pulled a significant amount from my retirement
account to try to save Tucker from his urinary issues, and that turned out
bad anyways. Thank you for the info and understanding Margo and I will for
sure check out Holisticat as well.

It's very personal, and sometimes difficult choice. I don't know what my
choice would be for me, but for my animals I have chosen chemo in many
cases, and likely will again.

I'm also not sure it's fair to compare "human" chemo protocols to those used
in Veterinary Medicine. For the Vets, the goal is to extend QUALITY life,
not necessarily cure. So the treatments are calibrated to balance the
positive and the negative. For humans, it's an all out attempt to kill the
cancer without killing the patient, but they pretty much push it to the edge
of what people will/can tolerate. For animals, it's to find the highest dose
they can tolerate WITHOUT compromising QOL. I had a great Vet, who would use
the allopathic chemos, and back it up with Traditional Chinese Medicine and
alternative options. She was trained in both and had no problem using them
in a complimentary manner.

I understand choosing not to use chemo, and while I would encourage someone
to research and consider, I would TRY not to push. If it's the yahoo Feline
Lymphoma Group, yes, they can be pushy. I think it's because they have seen
such good results that they can't understand someone who won't even do a
trial. But they should back off when asked, and hopefully send the person to
a different source. Does HolistiCat still exist? They used to have a wide
range of opinions. Okay, yup!

http://www.holisticat.com/en/

If you haven't already tried them, they might be more supportive of your
decisions.

In any case, I hope that you find a way...

I agree Rachel. We have all posted about different treatments, and our 
experiences with them, but it is up to everyone to decide how they want to 
proceed.

That is wonderful they stayed negative. My mom told me not to take in anymore 
strays after what I have been through with Tucker. And I admit it has been so 
hard and sad and stressful, not to mention crazy expensive. But if Tucker goes 
(ok now I am crying again!) , if another cat comes along and looks at me and 
asks for help I wouldn't hesitate, through health problems, heartache or 
whatever. I joined another support group today for lymphoma and I have gotten 
the opposite of support because I don't have him on chemo. I feel like I have 
gotten the opposite of support everywhere I have turned online, except my 
friends and family. I feel really hurt by how unfeeling humans can be. I guess 
that's why I love animals so much. Tucker is out here on my screened porch with 
me happy as a clam, probably wondering why I can't quit crying. It's time for 
me to give him his worst parent in the world treatment. Maybe I should get off 
of all of these "support" groups. They are making me miserable. Sorry, I know I 
totally barged in and vented on this post. I am just feeling really upset.

I messaged with someone from the group who has talked to Sharon, although not in the last couple of days. She does not want to surrender her animals to Charleston Animal Society because they would require her to sign a form stating they could be euthanized if sick. She most likely has the FeLV positive cat mixed with the negatives. The positive cat needs vet care. She needs to rehome some of her pets because there are pet limits for most of the housing assistance places that were suggested by this other person.

I will ask my friend down there, and also I have asked for help from another 
client whose case I just settled for her, and she has some contacts down in 
South Carolina. Surely, if we all pitch in, we can find a home for one cat!

I messaged with someone from the group who has talked to Sharon, although not 
in the last couple of days. She does not want to surrender her animals to 
Charleston Animal Society because they would require her to sign a form stating 
they could be euthanized if sick. She most likely has the FeLV positive cat 
mixed with the negatives. The positive cat needs vet care. She needs to rehome 
some of her pets because there are pet limits for most of the housing 
assistance places that were suggested by this other person. The positive cat is 
probably the least likely to find a home  (Assuming the other 4 are still 
negative) so maybe folks on this list can help network him. He is 9 yrs old, 
tuxedo, named Thomas. If you'd like a photo, email me off list.

Hi Margo

I intend to raise enough money to give them a decent enough cushion to pay for 
those monthly amounts, for at least one year, and hopefully two. I am great at 
online auctions, so if they have those in the nearby communities, I can easily 
pick up good furniture/dishes, etc., for low numbers, so that shouldn’t be a 
big issue.

I figure that this woman was renting so there must be some source of money in 
the future. If she and her son have enough of a cushion, this helps people

I will be happy to help (although humans aren't usually my thing ).

My concern is how the family will cope in the future. Can they afford the $350 
a month, plus utilities, food and pet food? Would this be "rented" to them, or 
lent, or rent with option? I'm not trying to be a wet blanket, but even tho I'm 
also in SC, I'm to far to be of actual on-site use.

I just want to try to make this a re-homing, not just a foster situation. Told

Hi Katherine

I have not heard from Sharon, but I have heard back from my former client in 
South Carolina, who has done a lot of research for me (bless her soul) and come 
up with a number of options. The best one she presented to me was a 2 bedroom 
used mobile home in Summerville for about $7,000 U.S. This is obviously quite 
inexpensive, and she says it probably needs new carpeting and a new air 
conditioning system, but probably for about $10,000 to $12,000 U.S., with 
furniture, it is a good option. There is also a monthly fee for the lot, which 
is usually around $350 a month but it is already in a trailer park and wouldn’t 
have to be moved.

This is a totally do-able target number for me. If I can hear from her 
regarding whether she is in favour of this option, I can get to work to get 
that mobile home for her.

I hate to rely upon you to be the go-between, and if you are unable to do that, 
I will have to venture onto Facebook, regardless of my concerns. Let me know.

Are you close enough to Charleston South Carolina to look into used mobile

one, that would be easier for me. I think I can hit some people I know for some 
decent-sized donations, so if the purchase price is around $20,000, I think 
that is do-able, though one problem is that our Canadian dollar is so horribly 
devalued now, that anyone up here will have to donate 30% more than it will 
register in the U.S. (I have just had a quick look on line and I see a few in

Are you close enough to Charleston South Carolina to look into used mobile 
homes, or know someone who can? If we have a target number to reach to purchase 
one, that would be easier for me. I think I can hit some people I know for some 
decent-sized donations, so if the purchase price is around $20,000, I think 
that is do-able, though one problem is that our Canadian dollar is so horribly 
devalued now, that anyone up here will have to donate 30% more than it will 
register in the U.S. (I have just had a quick look on line and I see a few in 
that price range. I just don’t know if what I see on line is a true reflection 
of reality on the ground. I have a former, very grateful client and her husband 
who moved down to South Carolina from Canada, and I have sent her an email to 
see if she might help regarding logistics as well.)

There is a 9 year old tuxedo cat in Charleston SC who is FeLV positive and has 
been for several years. His owner is dealing with health issues and she has 
become homeless. Does anyone have room for him or know of a Charleston rescue 
that could help?

He was posted on the Facebook group for Owners of cats with FeLV/FIV.

I am in North Carolina and could help with transport.

There is a 9 year old tuxedo cat in Charleston SC who is FeLV positive and has 
been for several years. His owner is dealing with health issues and she has 
become homeless. Does anyone have room for him or know of a Charleston rescue 
that could help?

He was posted on the Facebook group for Owners of cats with FeLV/FIV.

I am in North Carolina and could help with transport.

Thanks,

Hi Mike -

Thanks for taking this guy in. Mixing cats is a pretty frequent question. You 
may want to search the archives for mixing.
1st I would recommend having your FeLV cat retested in 6 months. Sometimes 
there are false positives,  sometimes(though rarely) they can throw the virus 
off. You could also get the cat tested on an IFA, which is a blood test which 
is sent out to a lab. If determines if the virus is circulating in the bone 
marrow. If the IFA is positive, there is no need to retest. Cats with a 
positive IFA will not throw the virus off. Your vet should be able to explain 
the protocol to you.

I mix my FeLV  non-FeLV cats freely. They all eat  drink from the same bowls. 
 I have been doing this for over 10 years,  none of my non-FeLV cats have ever 
turned positive. I have even had FIV+ cats living with the FeLV+ cats,  they 
have never caught the virus (I do re-test my non FeLV's, so I know this to be 
true)
You do need to keep him separate from your other cats until your cats are fully 
vaccinated ( 1st vaccine, booster vaccine,  wait at least 10 days after last 
vaccine) before mixing.
2 of my previous vets recommended vaccinating my non-FeLV cats every 6 months, 
instead of every year. Currently I just vaccinate yearly.
Right now I have 5 FeLV+ cats, 1 FIV+ cat,  one who is just a normal, healthy, 
13 year old who is not positive for anything.

Hi Mike, 

We rescued feral kitten in August and we have two other cats who are older. We 
keep our two older neg FeLV cats separated from Kitty, our FeLV positive cat. 
There is a lot of different opinions regarding mixing and not mixing. However 
based on the age of our other two cats we decided not to mix them. 
I would reiterate what others have said and recommend reading posts about 
mixing and talking to your vet as well.
Good luck Mike and bless you for saving this cat

 If she is not comfortable with mixing because of the vet's say so, maybe

 brught home at age 3 months.  I did keep the kittens seperate until they
 had all their shots up to date.  They all mix now and 1 kitten Harley
 aggrevates the older ones to death.  So far, slaps nd hisses, but no
 biting,  (and if anyone would bite, it would be Annie and Nitnoy.
  Especially Nitnoy snce she got her tail removed by a raccoon.  She does
 not like being approached from the rear and does not hesitate to let you
 know) but even then, my vet said if the negatives are up to date on shots,
 I sould not have a problem.  The kittens are now over 1-1/2 years old, and
 healthy as can be - no sign they are having problems from contact with
 Annie and Nitnoy.

 I am not putting her down, she is doing her best for this cat.  I just
 think she will be missing ot on a real lover if she does not take him.  Is
 the vet sure he is really positive?  Would retesting be called for?  Since
 he is neuteed, he must be past thekitten stage and his immune system could
 have it controlled by now.  Don't hey always test positive once thy have

   Here's the info she sent:
  
   There is a resident population of feral cats at Tom's Cove Campground.
   Some
   of the people living there put food out.  Occasionally a cat is
 trapped
   and
   taken to
   an area vet.  Storm showed up after Hurricane Irene.  He was trapped
 and
   taken to the vet to get shaved down because he was badly matted and
   infested
   with fleas.  At the vet's it was discovered he was already neutered.
  His
   ears were not notched and he has no microchip.
  
   Storm has not shown any aggression at all.  He is fed separately, but
 the
   other cats don't bother him.  He is not feral.  I was asked if I would
   take
   him home with me when I visited in October.  I took him to the local
 vet
   to
   be tested and that is when it was discovered that he is FeLV+.  I
 have a
   3yo
   female cat who is FeLV-.  There is no way I could keep him separated
 from
   my
   cat.
  
   While the rest of the colony will survive the winter, it is doubtful
 if
   Storm would make it through the winter outside and without a regular
   source
   of food.  The campground where he is now closes at the end of
 November.
   I
   honestly think he would make a wonderful pet.

Re: [Felvtalk] FeLV+ Cat - Chincoteague Island - URGENT-Transportation Available

2011-11-25 Thread dlgegg
If she is not comfortable with mixing because of the vet's say so, maybe she 
should try another vet who is enlightened.  Storm sounds like a real lover and 
and it would be a shame to miss out on his company just because he is felv+.  I 
have 2 positives and 5 negatives including 2 kittens I brught home at age 3 
months.  I did keep the kittens seperate until they had all their shots up to 
date.  They all mix now and 1 kitten Harley aggrevates the older ones to death. 
 So far, slaps nd hisses, but no biting,  (and if anyone would bite, it would 
be Annie and Nitnoy.  Especially Nitnoy snce she got her tail removed by a 
raccoon.  She does not like being approached from the rear and does not 
hesitate to let you know) but even then, my vet said if the negatives are up to 
date on shots, I sould not have a problem.  The kittens are now over 1-1/2 
years old, and healthy as can be - no sign they are having problems from 
contact with Annie and Nitnoy.

I am not putting her down, she is doing her best for this cat.  I just think 
she will be missing ot on a real lover if she does not take him.  Is the vet 
sure he is really positive?  Would retesting be called for?  Since he is 
neuteed, he must be past thekitten stage and his immune system could have it 
controlled by now.  Don't hey always test positive once thy have had contact?

 Cindy McHugh ci...@furangels.org wrote: 
 She's not comfortable exposing her cat to him, even with the vaccination. I 
 understand this is controversial, but I can see her point. When I was 
 fostering a FeLV+ cat, I wouldn't allow him contact with my own cats.
 
 Short of bringing him into her home, she's doing everything she can to save 
 this cat, offering to cover all of his vet bills and even get him a dental. 
 And I don't think she's even nearby, as I believe she lives in WV and the 
 cat is on Chincoteage Island.

  Can't/won't she mix them?  I have mixed neg/pos for years with no
  problem as long as the negatives are up to date on the dreaded FeLV
  shots.

  ears were not notched and he has no microchip.
 
  Storm has not shown any aggression at all.  He is fed separately, but the
  other cats don't bother him.  He is not feral.  I was asked if I would 
  take
  him home with me when I visited in October.  I took him to the local vet

  be tested and that is when it was discovered that he is FeLV+.  I have a 
  3yo
  female cat who is FeLV-.  There is no way I could keep him separated from 
  my
  cat.
 
  While the rest of the colony will survive the winter, it is doubtful if
  Storm would make it through the winter outside and without a regular 
  source
  of food.  The campground where he is now closes at the end of November. 
  I
  honestly think he would make a wonderful pet.

I mix my FELV's with my non-FELV's - have had no problem. Several on  
this list do.  Also I have a friend who has 1 FELV and 1 non-FELV -  
she gives the FELV kitty oral interferon alpha, which is well known on  
this list.  They're both 4-5 yrs old now, doing fine.  FYI -

I have to vaccinate for FelV too, and I simply hate to do it. However,
I recently discovered that two of the cats in the shelter/sanctuary
building I own are FelV pos.  They have mixed with all the other cats
there for years and none have had FelV vaccinations. Currently they
are all healthy.  These are not my 15 cats at home. They are all
FelV neg and are never with my sanctuary cats.

Anyway, I'd also like to know which of the FelV vaccinations are the
best and least likely to cause VAS.

2011-11-19 Thread Cindy McHugh
Oh no. I'm so incredibly sorry to hear that. I pray you find comfort in knowing 
that Tigger is in a wonderful place, where he knows only perfect health and 
happiness. And when you consider that you'll have eternity together, this 
separation is but a speck of time. Try to remember that he's not gone, just 
gone ahead.

Nov 17 marked my last dog's first birthday in Heaven. It's been a year and not 
a day goes by that I don't think of him fondly and miss him dearly. 
Unfortunately, it's the price we pay for surrounding ourselves with these 
marvelous wonders whose life spans are shorter than our own. 

I pray for comfort and healing for you. And bless you for considering opening 
your broken heart to another in need.

Kindest Regards,
Cindy

  Thanks for your inquiry about Storm. I'm not sure how he is with other cats, 
but I'll certainly find out. I'll get back to you as soon as I have an answer.

I was contacted by someone whose friend has been feeding a stray cat that's 
living in a seasonal mobile home park on Chincoteague Island. The park closes 
at the end of November and the person who has been feeding it is going to live 
with relatives, where the cat is not welcome. 

The woman who contacted me is desperate to find a place for the cat by the 
end of November and she's willing to cover all vetting costs herself. 
Transportation is also available most anywhere.

The cat is called Storm because he showed up after Hurricane Irene. He's a 
long-haired black and white neutered male. 

If you know of anyone who can help, please contact me and I'll put you in 
touch with the woman who's trying so hard to save this poor baby. He's had a 
lot of tough breaks in his life. He deserves another chance.

Thank you.

John, I know that Tigger would want you to have your heart open to a cat in
need (Storm).
You have the support of a great fellowship of cat lovers.
Over the past 2 years I have lost 3 cats to old age/disease and I
immediately found 3 loving cats that needed a home.
Nothing will replace Tigger, but every new cat brings so much joy.
Good luck with all things feline.

Re: [Felvtalk] FeLV+ Cat - Chincoteague Island - URGENT-Transportation Available

2011-11-19 Thread Cindy McHugh
The woman trying to help the cat on Chincoteague Island sent me some additional 
information, so I thought I'd share it here. 

He only has 11 days to find a home, foster, or rescue. Please feel free to 
crosspost.

Thanks,
Cindy

Here's the info she sent:

There is a resident population of feral cats at Tom's Cove Campground.  Some of 
the people living there put food out.  Occasionally a cat is trapped and taken 
to 
an area vet.  Storm showed up after Hurricane Irene.  He was trapped and taken 
to the vet to get shaved down because he was badly matted and infested with 
fleas.  At the vet's it was discovered he was already neutered.  His ears were 
not notched and he has no microchip.

Storm has not shown any aggression at all.  He is fed separately, but the other 
cats don't bother him.  He is not feral.  I was asked if I would take him home 
with me when I visited in October.  I took him to the local vet to be tested 
and that is when it was discovered that he is FeLV+.  I have a 3yo female cat 
who is FeLV-.  There is no way I could keep him separated from my cat.

While the rest of the colony will survive the winter, it is doubtful if Storm 
would make it through the winter outside and without a regular source of food.  
The campground where he is now closes at the end of November.  I honestly think 
he would make a wonderful pet.

Hi, I haven't posted anything yet, just keeping up with the list.

I saw this posting on craigslist for a FeLV positive cat needing a home.
I
don't work for the rescue or anything and I can't take in another cat. I
just thought it was worth a shot to post it on here. I know you all care
