I just wanted to thank all of you for taking the time to read my story
and for your advice and feedback. It's been a really, really tough
week, and I know I haven't even seen the worst of this disease. My
heart really goes out to you all, as I ready your stories. I'm dealing
with FeLv with three cats I intended to put up for adoption, so I
didn't allow myself to get too attached to them, and yet, my heart is
just broken over this. Sheesh! I came from a dog family, we were not
permitted to have cats as kids, and now here I am with a pack of them,
and I'm amazed at their ability to creep in and grab hold of my heart!
I'm still worried to death about the health of my own cats, but I
certainly take comfort in knowing that this group exists; I am so
grateful for everything that I've learned about food, vitamins,
longevity, and the power of love, in the short time I've been reading
the posts here.
I heard from Lynn at The Best Little Cat House in PA, and she'll take
Emilio and Frito; I convinced my mother, who is not a cat person, to
take the Mama cat, at least until the holidays, when we can have her
retested. I'm hoping, but not overly optimistic, about her chances, but
she might be a carrier, rather than a victim. I'm hoping my mom will
finally see how wonderful cats are, and decide to keep the kitty, no
matter what the test results are. But if not, we'll deal with the
situation then.
Thanks again for everything.
With love to you all -
Chrissy
