Allowing mixed "pet" cats to stay together that have already been exposed is
one thing altogether.
Deliberately exposing already immune compromised fiv+ cats to felv+ is giving
them a death sentence.
While she (Not Sherry, the owner) collects donations for this and tells
everyone,
"We do the best that we can".
Question, as far as declawing, are the adopters even asked or is it "just a
given"?
Sounds like the dark ages.
And besides, a cat that is fiv+ is stillvery adoptable, w/an education
programset in place.
A cat that is felv+ is much harder.
A cat that is fiv+ and exposed to felv is just about impossible.

Faithful Bast at her side did wait,
Purring welcomes of soft applause,
Ever guarding with sharpened claws."

Glenda, many of us here mix our vaccinated negatives with our positives. It
is a calculated risk that takes into account quality of life, as is your
decision to allow your cats outside. In my situation, with my neighborhood and
my street-senseless cats, an outdoor kitty is a risk that I won't take. Your
situation may be very different. I guess I am just trying to suggest that we
ALL care deeply for our cats, and that we be gentler with each other when
voicing our different opinions. It does the cats no good if all of us crazy
cat ladies start attacking each other. Sherry has worked so hard, and takes
each loss so personally, and for that I thank her.
Best wishes,
