Kelly,
I can understand the second test and yea you need to wait that time. Im sorry
that you cant find anyone in your area to hold the cat for the 6 weeks but
please DON'T try and put down sanctuaries. We like any rescue look for
donations and the good will of people to help us help the animals. Yes almost
all sanctuaries that take an animal for life ask for fees( some more than
others) but your talking the care and vetting for what could be 10 or so years
and with FeLV that can get really expensive.
I wish you the best of luck in finding a foster for him, and i pray that he is
- so he can be adopted.

I can't even get anyone to hold on to a healthy kitten temporarily - all my
favors are called in long ago, and I've even having problems placing barn
cats. . We could start treatment, but this lady gets more attached to this
cat by the day and it really is not fair to her (or the cat) to put him through
treatment and then have him PTS. We have an FELV sanctuary, but unfortunately
they only take in cats when there is money to be made off them.
We did ship a cat to Best Friends once, but they do not always have room either.
Like I said, this list has always been my go-to resource for FELV cats and I
have found placement for every single one in the past.
It is possible he has a false positive, but as he is anemic and sick, I'm
leaning towards true +. Unfortunately as I said there is no one to hold him
for 6 weeks and if we put him back outside he will be dead in 6 weeks.

Kelley, do you have any personal friends whom you might call on for a big
favor? Are there any FeLV groups that could be called on, not necessarily in
Austin, but in the area? It’s such a shame, because this cat may just have had
a false positive…..
