You have no idea what my life entails. I am on the frontline every day and have been for years. Those here who know me, know that. And I have no idea what your life entails. All I know is you cried SOS and I was pulled in (my responsibility, not yours). I appreciate your gentle support and compassion as I need it very much. I will bid adieu now. Seems best for all. Best wishes. Those of you who know me know how to find me. Those who I've supported financially should feel free to contact me privately. L
"Love animals: God has given them the rudiments of thought and joy untroubled. Do not trouble their joy, don't harass them, don't deprive them of their happiness, don't work against God's intent. Man, do not pride yourself on superiority to animals; they are without sin, and you, with your greatness, defile the earth by your appearance on it, and leave the traces of your foulness after you - alas, it is true of almost every one of us!"~Fyodor Dostoyevsky -----Original Message----- From: felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org [mailto:felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org] On Behalf Of Emeraldkittee Sent: Saturday, January 22, 2011 9:32 AM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: [Felvtalk] response to Laurie, let's keep the list supportive It will sort itself out by me getting him tested, and determining if he's really positive, continuing to work with this lady, and networking with some local fosters who care for FeLV and could possibly take him, of which two are already aware. How does this smack of 'the writer not taking steps to help the kitty' as you said? If he's negative, it's a whole different story. The room had perches, toys, a tv, radio, and he had his own run outside, a large tall enclosure for warm months. I was shocked, happily shocked. you can see a different story was painted over the phone and it seemed desperate. There is a care taker for the ill relative that lives there 24/7 who I personally talked to who adores the kitty, and makes him chicken. A small part of me did feel taken for being led to believe it was dire. He has a full see through door so he can see the rest of the house. Who could not agree that a kitty mere hours away from having his life drained out of him is in more need of immediate focus. I am well aware of C&W and many other organizations that I am in contact with - fosters, as well. These are all possibilities. I sincerely appreciate your suggestions, and take them to heart. I will not accept your judgement however. I'm sorry it's hard on you emotionally, from behind your keyboard, but I can assure you it has been likewise on me on the frontline. This should be a place for gentle support and compassion. We are all good people here doing the best we can. Case closed on this one. --- On Sat, 1/22/11, Laurieskatz <lauriesk...@mchsi.com> wrote: From: Laurieskatz <lauriesk...@mchsi.com> Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] opinions on strange situation(kitty to adopt) To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Date: Saturday, January 22, 2011, 8:52 AM I no longer do rescue. I did offer to help this kitty financially, I think I suggested cat TV videos and I suggested C&W shelter if he is positive. I also emailed privately a list member who lives in Chicago to ask what vet she goes to. It is hard on me emotionally to hear about kitties in need (from your earlier report this kitty lives alone in a room so frustrated that he masturbates- did he have toys? A window? Cat TV?) without the writer then taking steps to help the kitty. Curious how this will "sort itself out" without your intervention. Thanks for all you do. I think I just need to stop reading posts about cats in need.
