Ask Parker to send you the right one..honest. A month after Dixie
left this world, she sent me a kitten from the same pine thicket she
came fromhe was very little so, two weeks later, she sent me
another...they are 6 months old and weigh in at around 8 1/2
pounds apiece.well, they were little when she picked them
out. Parker will send you the right cat or cats if you ask him. The
cat may not be what you think you want but it will definitely be
exactly the right little fellow.

Tonya,
Wow! I didn't know that FeLV cats could live as long as your cats
have! That's amazing. As you've stated, you never really know how
long you'll have with them.
What cute names you've chosen for your felines! I don't know if I
mentioned it before, but I got my second cat (that died recently)
from our vet as well. They rescued him and suggested that I may want
to take him in because I already had a FeLV positive cat. They were
just as upset as I was when Parker passed away. My vet buried him in
his yard and got him a headstone. He was one loved kitty!
I do plan on taking in another positive someday (hopefully sooner
rather than later!). I need a little bit more time to adjust to the
loss of Parker, but want to rescue another one. I've been looking at
this group's adoption page as well as Petfinder (under special
needs cats) to see what next cat may need my help. Thanks again for
your support and response.
Take care,
Amber
Welcome to the group. I'm sorry for your loss, but thank you for
taking in positive cats.
Unfortunately with this disease you just never know when or if they
are ever going to get sick from the felv.
I have a 10 year old positive here with me as I type right now. My
first positive died around 8 years old.
Others have lived lives into the high teens. The bad thing about it
is that when it hits, it can hit fast, as you have discovered.
I don't know about the new med.s. My cat is asymptomatic, so I
don't give her any medicines, additives, etc just a good diet and
a stress free (as possible) environment. My girl DD was left at my
vet's office and my vet talked me into taking her because
I already had a positive cat. Vet's call dropped off animals door
dumps and I named her DD because my first positive cat was CC
(because I found her living behind a coke machine). DD RULES my
house. Your positive cat could have many years ahead of her. I
hope you'll consider
taking in another positive. :)
thank you!
