Greetings. We are Presto and
Everett. We operate a private, at-home sanctuary for cats who have either
Felv or FIV. In addition, we have several ferals who could not be TNR'd to
their original locations. They are isolated and fully vaccinated before
being introduced to the colony. It's not an ideal combination, but death
was the only alternative for all the cats we have.
I've done rescue work for twenty years,
in HI, WA, CA, MA, and briefly in the Congo and Venezuela. My
husband and I met fourteen years ago. He is as dedicated as I am
to our work with cats.
When working as a foster home,
it had been our custom to have positive-testing newcomers
euthanized. Four years ago, we decided to cease fostering and to
become a positive-testers' sanctuary. We've cared for thirty
positives. We currently have fifteen. Our death rate
is three to four per year. We are our veterinary clinic's top client,
and average eight-thousand a year in payments to them. We also use Tufts
Univ. Veterinary Hospital when needed.
We are always keen to hear insights on
cat care, especially pertaining to the positives. Likewise, we've learned
a lot and are glad to share.
Presto
