Kevin, I am glad that you are able to find a place for your kitty - have you visited the place in person? I just wanted to make sure that you have had the opportunity to see the place and visit kitties there and meet care givers in person and you are comfortable with everything you have observed so far - and I am sure you have by just reading your postings as you care about her so much and you seem a very very responsible person.
I have two FeLK girls and one of the girls Tsubomi, I recently rescued -- she is sort of like your kitties.. she was tested positive on IFA, too- but it's very hard to believe that she has FeLK -she is so healthy and so fat!!!!!!!!! I will be praying that your kitty will be just fine at her new home --- how long are you planning to be away? Can you come visit her sometimes? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kevin Blaisdell Sent: Thursday, January 05, 2006 2:54 PM To: Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Update on my cat and moving I wanted to thank all those who have helped me with info and encouragement. I need to follow up to make the exact moving arrangement, but it looks like a generous shelter in IL is going to be able to accomadate Marilyn. On the down side the follow up IFA test came back positive. I knew the chances were slim to none of her somehow not having it, but after being told how doomed she was and then having her live her for almost 3yrs without any sign of sickness I had to wonder. I have mixed feelings now. I am grateful someone is willing to take her, but a bit sad she won't have the relative luxury so far. All I can hope is that it is relatively comfortable and maybe she will benefit from cat companionship I was unable to provide. As it is sometimes I wonder if she is happy being converted to a trapped indoor cat, but I had to do something about all the doomed litters she was contributing to the neighborhood. Since I have heard a lot about stress being bad for FeLV+ I also am concered about this upheaval causing something to come on. It would really be disappointing for her to be healthy all this time and then suddenly become ill while I am gone. But I have come to realize while a lot of things didn't work in her favor hopefully however this turns out whatever I did made things better if far from ideal. I only hope everything works out for myself as well as for Marilyn over the next year or so. Thank You, Kevin __________________________________________ Yahoo! DSL - Something to write home about.
