Hi,
and welcome, though I'm very sorry for the reason you had to find us. Maximus is
a lucky kitty to have found you and your boyfriend.
You
have definitely come to the right place---you'll get great advice AND moral
support. I was lucky enough to find this list a year ago, and I don't know what
I would have done without the incredibly helpful and specific advice, as well as
all the moral support, that I got from the kind, wise, seasoned members on the
list. They are a truly amazing group of individuals.
I'm
going to send you info on diet & supplements. Because much of it comes
from a wonderful book that I was referred to when I was still reeling from the
discovery that 5 of the 6 kitties I was in the process of taking in all had
FeLV, I'm sending it to your private email address to reduce the risk
of running into copyright issues.
There
are also 2 other books that are referred to a lot by members, which I don't
yet have, but I'll dig up the precise names and send those also to
you.
Welcome again to you and Maximus. I'll be in touch
again shortly.
Kerry

Hi everyone, I was just doing some research on
Feline Leukemia, and found this website. My cat, Maximus, is the best cat
ever. My boyfriend and I found him as a stray and took him in. We
brought him to the vet (after we fell in love with him), and they did the
leukemia test, and it came back positive. We were devastated. So far
he seems to be doing okay, but I get scared everyday that I'm going to come home
from work and he's going to be sick. He always sounds like he has a
cold. I don't know much about the disease, except that there is no
cure. He's not even two years old yet. If anyone has any ideas on
how I can make sure that he lives as much of a healthy life that he can, that
would be great. This is a great
website.
