Re: [Felvtalk] Sweet double pos orange tabby boy needs a home

I can't put him in with the other cats. I wouldn't do it with my own 
cats, one of whom is FIV+ and thus especially vulnerable to contracting 
FeLV, because the vaccination is not 100% effective and having seen the 
ravages of FeLV I would never risk that. But it's not up to me in our 
foster homes, anyway. I can't make other people put FeLV+ cats with 
their own negative cats, and we can't expose cats we are saying tested 
negative to FeLV and then adopt them out when they may be incubating 
it. Plus we cannot afford to give our foster cats 2 FeLV shots on top 
of everything else we do; it would add another $40/cat in vet costs 
even with the discount we get.

thanks, though,
Michelle
