On the insurance issue...please try to get something that covers
people who visit. Cats scratch and they bite. I had two surgeries on
a finger that one little girl who was defending herself broke. Had it
been on someone else's property or had she been an owned cat, that
person and not my insurance would have footed the bills .....even
though it was my fault I was bitten. My insurance company called with
zillions of questions to make sure they could not put the bill off on
someone else. I've been nipped and scratched by my own cats too with
no problem but there are so many mean-spirited people and you are
doing a wonderful thing.........

all the cats - they don't care. We have a small number of FIV/FeLV

cats and many more healthy cats. I never planned it that way, but
since they
were rescues, I wasn't going to kill them or not accept them....so
here I
am. It really did sound to me that they may have been under the

that the cats were to be insured, is that possible? I can't think
of any
other reason for anyone giving a hoot about the health of cats at a
shelter,
wherever it may be!!! Natalie

ALMOST SOUNDS LIKE KENNEL PACK IS ASSOCIATED WITH PETA WITH THEIR
ATTITUDE
TOWARDS FELV POS CATS. THEY NEED AN UPDATE FROM A VET ABOUT POS AND
NEG
FELV CATS. SINCE THE VIRUS DOES NOT LIVE LONG OUTSIDE THE
HOST(AFTER IT IS
DRIED OUT), MY VET SAID MAIN PROBLEM WOULD BE IF THEY GOT INTO A REAL
KNOCKDOWN FIGHT AND BIT EACH OTHER . THAT WAY THE SALIVA FROM POS
CAT COULD
ENTER BLOODSTREAM O NEG CAT AND CAUSE A PROBLEM. SO, IF YOU KEEP
THEM IN
SEPERATE ROOMS, YOU WOULD NEVER HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT.

insurance.

I need Liability insurance. I tried Kennel Pack and they sent me an
apology
letter. They won't insure me because I adopt out healthy cats and
keep
FELV
positive cats in the same building. It's not like I keep them
together.
They
each have their own cageless room. I also had to promise never to
adopt
out
the FELV positive cats for them to even consider me and still they
wouldn't
insure me. I know some of you do this, so I'm hoping you can point
me in
the
direction of people who are a little more understanding to the
needs of
these kitties. It isn't fair to discriminate against me or these
animals.
I
just want to provide a no kill place for them to live and help
find homes
for all of the kitties if possible. :-(
THANKS!!
