Re: [Felvtalk] Whimsy update - happy news
You've made awesome progress with Whimsey. He sounds like a very special fella. Going at his pace is always a good plan. Give him a cuddle from us Sharyl --- On Wed, 6/9/10, Emeraldkittee emeraldkit...@yahoo.com wrote: From: Emeraldkittee emeraldkit...@yahoo.com Subject: [Felvtalk] Whimsy update - happy news To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Date: Wednesday, June 9, 2010, 7:45 PM Just wanted to give an update on Whimsy, originally a feral I was going to TNR. He went for another visit about 6 weeks ago to the vet and surprisingly everything was 'perfect'. I know how things change quickly with these guys, but it was still a celebration. Since then, he's been wayyy more interested in coming in. He DOES have the sunroom (our others miss laying about in the rays, but they'll recover) all to himself. (I think it's great he can feel he's still a part of the outdoors, with all the windows in there) He comes in before dark and is out in the morning. Usually he stays in the yard, his box, or in the sunroom during the day - he gets really upset if he's locked inside too long, so he's still outside when he wants for short periods. He mostly sits with us, watches the fish in the pond, or climbs the large tree. I have a feeling come fall, he's going to be strictly inside. Now, when he wanders a bit, we call him and he's within earshot - he comes bounding through the yard like a puppy (don't tell him I made a canine comparison, please). So, we have done this at 'his pace'. He's become the 'lappiest' cat I have ever had, always wanting to cuddle. He truly wants to meet the others inside, and it's so sad to see him look at the 'real inside' of the house, wanting to come in. But, he's got his own toys, scratcher, catnip, etc. And it's about a year ago I first saw him - a skittish bundle of black and white, untrusting and scared. These guys really teach us to not believe the word impossible, don't they? This group helped sooo much. So, Whimsy's success is shared by all here.

Re: [Felvtalk] Dante has passed over the Rainbow Bridge
Beth, I was saddened to read that Dante has crossed the Rainbow Bridge. He was loved and cared for. He lived for each day and you made them special for him. You are in our thoughts and prayers Sharyl -Original Message- From: felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org [mailto:felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org] On Behalf Of Beth Sent: Wednesday, June 09, 2010 4:25 PM To: FeLV Talk Subject: [Felvtalk] Dante has passed over the Rainbow Bridge My FeLV foster kitty Dante passed over the Rainbow Bridge today. I only had him a few months, but loved him dearly. He preferred human company over kitty company, but was tolerant of the other kitties. He was a beautiful grey boy pulled from Animal Control by the rescue I work with. It will be a long time before I stop expecting to see him in his bed. He went downhill fast the last 2 weeks. The X-rays done yesterday indicated he was full of tumors. Luckily he had the lady who originally pulled him from AC to be there with him. Our group never lets animals be euthanized without someone from the shelter being there, for which I am very grateful. It looks like I will be getting a new FeLV kitty from a friend tonight.

[Felvtalk] Four FeLV+ kittens need caring homes
Hi, I recently took in a stray cat who had been hanging around my apartment, whom I named Eva. It turned out she was 3 weeks pregnant when I took her in. The vet confirmed the pregnancy at around the 5 week mark, but for whatever reason didn't test Eva for FeLV or FIV until I brought her and four kittens in when they were 3 weeks old. She tested positive for FeLV. Three weeks later, all four kittens also tested positive. They're getting tested again in three weeks as there's some chance for kittens to convert from positive to negative, but I am less than hopeful at this point. Due to the illness, the adopters I had lined up have decided not to adopt. I am single and live in a 1 BR apartment in Sacramento, CA. I simply can't care for five cats, let alone FeLV+ ones. Fortunately, a shelter in Portland, OR has agreed to help out if needed. They're called House of Dreams and can be found on the web here: http://kittydreams.typepad.com/house-of-dreams/. They have a dedicated area for FeLV+ cats and will attempt to adopt them out to caring homes. That being said, I would like to see if there are any caring homes willing to adopt one or more of these cute little guys before I commit them to this shelter. If any of you are within a few hours of Sacramento and would like to adopt, or know someone who does, please get in touch.
