I'm writing to see if anybody has room to take a nice cat located in Rochester, NY. I will arrange for transportation if anybody has room. I would take her myself but I am 8 months pregnant and still very ill. On top of that, my dog has recently been diagnosed with bone cancer and only has weeks to months to live. My husband has owned him since a puppy and is absolutely devastated since he may not make it til the birth of our first baby. Since Rocket's leg is awful, I don't want to add a cat that he may play with or run around with as he could break his leg easily. As sick as he is, he still thinks he is a puppy. I have 5 cats of my own but with having to go into the hospital soon and with having to try to care for a sick Great Dane when I'm big as a house, I really can't stir up the mix right now. I'm laboring at home and having to introduce a new cat right now could make things really tough. On the other hand, I think I own the brother and sister to this cat and they are 2 of the best cats I've ever had, both given to me by this vet. My vet is moving to a new house and desperately needs to relocate this cat. Her horse just died unexpectedly on the 4th of July and she is heartbroken. On top of that, she is worried about not finding a home for this cat. I would love to be able to give her good news and let her know that somebody could take this girl. Could anybody take her in? Please write me if you would even consider it and we can talk. I have a picture of her too. I've attached the letter from my vet below.
Amy Hi Amy, I'd like to know if you can put me in touch with your leukemia list, as I have a cat to place. She is the cat who lives at the barn where Sierra and Mav came from. Unfortunately, she has tested positive for BOTH leukemia and FIV, confirmed with IFA & Western blot. She is currently very happy, seems healthy, is receiving regular exams by me, IFN-a once a day, regular distemper and rabies vaccines, and deworming. She is currently living in our barn but I do not believe she would have difficulty making the transition inside. The reason she still lives outside is because she is still in contact with the cats who made her sick, so where's the harm. She is very friendly, but is only so-so excited about being cuddled (she is a tortie). She is a little wary of other cats, but the cats she is currently in contact with are feral and have bitten/chased her so I don't necessarily blame her for being a loner. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
