Re: RE: Need to place Chief ASAP
Actually, "free lease" horses get homes really easily on most horse forums (just be extra careful when screening and do lots of unexpected drop-ins to check up on the horse). Most people do either 1 year, or 1 show season leases, depending on if it's a show horse, or a trail riding partner. Phaewryn http://ucat.us/domesticcatlinks.html Special Needs Cat Resources
Re: RE: Need to place Chief ASAP
Steph, I am reading this thread and I know you are in pain over the situation. I wish you well. You are an angel for doing your best. I am doing my best as well. Even if I had unlimited funds, I don't know how much it would change the outcome here. I do not know what you are going through as I cannot walk in your shoes or even pretend to walk in your shoes. I will pray for strength to get you though this. I wish I could help with Chief. I live in VA, but I do not have resources to treat another cat. I sometimes think my Tiny left me so Junior could get more treatment. Both cats were being treated with Immunoregulin. Take care...

Re: Need to place Chief ASAP
Steph, My heart goes out to you. I know what it's like to have to protect and care for a geriatric cat and how hard it is to make the decision to part with any animal that you have loved and cared for. You have to do what you think is best and know that majority of the kind people in this group supports you. Sheila ** AOL now offers free email to everyone.

Re: Need to place Chief ASAP
Just want to say I'm sorry that you've had a bad feeling about the
responses you've gotten. I haven't been following all the posts, but
we've always had such a nice, supportive group, and wish it could be
that for you. I hope you can find a place for your sweet kitty.
it's hard to judge someone else's life, you just never know what's
going on, and the real difficulties that can be there when someone
needs to relinquish a beloved kitty.
Hope you can hang in there. Sending you lots of good vibes, hoping
that a wonderful home appears.

I work in a family business and am required to give 6 months

So, I took a second 3rd shift job f/t that pays okay with benefits.

The cats don’t get along. It’s been 2 years and my geriatric cat is
still terrified of him. They must be separated. No way, shape, or
form can they live together. She’s FIV+ with heart problems, a
growth on her spine, skin problems, and a herniated diaphragm. I’ve
had her since the day she was born, and I owned her mother before
that.
And, the hours I work caring for 2 cats is going to be hard… very
hard. If I can foster him for a year then I’ll be working one job
when I take him back and it would be better for all of us involved.

Re: Re: Need to place Chief ASAP
Nina, I have some offers on the table that might signifigantly raise my financial status, but in many ways I must be realistic, too. The horse costs almost $300 a month without his board. He's an atheletic horse who would make a wonderful competition horse. A competitive season runs around $10,000 on a budget with no training fees. He's a sweet, kind horsey who would be great with someone else. :) Steph > > From: Nina <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: 2007/03/16 Fri PM 03:53:49 EST > To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org > Subject: Re: Need to place Chief ASAP > > I don't know what your situation is specifically Steph, but don't > convince yourself that things can't turn around quickly.

RE: Need to place Chief ASAP
You can't afford to overpay on anything, including a neuter, and it's really
hard to find a placement, permanent or foster, for an unaltered male cat. It
takes time after the neuter to get the testosterone out of a cat's system and
anyone considering taking him in will be concerned with agression and spraying
and other behaviors that are common in unnaltered male cats. You will have a
much easier time placing him if he is already fixed.

I don't know what your situation is specifically Steph, but don't convince yourself that things can't turn around quickly. Certainly, do what you have to do, but please stop telling yourself and others that it's going to take years to be financially stable. What harm can it cause to imagine that something that you do, or some circumstance that you can't foresee will present itself sooner than you think? I know that it sounds trite to hear, "think positively", but something about expecting miracles keeps us open to the possibility, and more importantly, it can enable us to spot the opportunities we might miss if our heads are hanging too low to see them when they present themselves.

Oh Stephanie, I'm so sorry about the rough spot you've hit. It sounds just
heart wrenching. We've got to do what we've got to do, it doesn't sound like
you've reached your conclusions lightly. Maybe you could post your felv pos as
"foster home needed". People might be quicker to help out knowing that he will
have a home with you when you're back on your feet. Perhaps you could do the
same sort of thing with your horse? There must be a million young girls out
there that would be thrilled to have a horse to ride and love in exchange for
vet care and board. You might be able to work something out that will be good
for everyone concerned and still be able to bring the family back together
eventually.
Prayers and strength to you,

RE: RE: Need to place Chief ASAP
Thank you Nina. I'll try posting him as a foster. Part of the scary thing for me is money is so tight that I can't afford to treat a major illness. I can't get sick and my animals can't get sick or hurt. The horse won't be affordable for a few years, so sadly he's for sale. Thanks guys. I appreciate it!
