I called the woman who posted about the calico male and black female and she runs a rescue in Arlington, right next to Dallas. I was upset that she left her post the way she did (ie. "it's over"). She told me that she did pts the kittens, which of course, upset me to hear. I asked her to please not leave us hanging like that again as it was upsetting for us to read that and not know what she meant. I could hear in her voice a lot of frustration at trying to get them adopted out and that one of her personal cats had contracted the FeLV from the kittens, according to her. She had bottle fed the two kittens and had had them for a year, so she was clearly upset about the situation. She did not want to pts and said that she had tried to get them adopted out for months, but was concerned for all the other cats. She did say that later an IFA showed that her personal cat was negative, so that's a good thing. I told her a little about what we've found out here about FeLV and urged her to post back if she came across any more FeLV positives in her rescue before pts. I know this will put your minds a little at rest, unrestfully. I hope we don't get anymore of these posts because they are upsetting!
