It would not be right to send him in cargo and the very long road trip would be
stressful. Could you get some donations to fly him with a person as their "pet"
in an airline regulation carrier? I would be willing to contribute $10 to that
cause. He actually may turn from FeLv+ to just FIV+ if kept for two months and
retested. You can also contact Best Friends. They may donate his airfare or
part of it. Cargo could be a death sentence for a cat who needs a stable
environment. Sometimes it's not climate controlled and is either sweltering or
freezing. Crated dogs could bark all the way from NJ. It's like cat hell. I'm
in San Antonio, TX, have 2 cats who tested neg. for FeLv after being kept for
two months and re-tested. Wish I could take the sweet boy but I have 40 cats
here in my foster/forever/rescued group.
Spay and Neuter your cats and dogs and your weird relatives and nasty neighbors
too!
