Thanx Tonya, I have been on the internet to many sites that have been very informative and am going to try to find help with the colony around my home. This was a new vet I went to and am now going to ask more questions. Being new to felv i didnt know much. I took her word that he was suffering and would only get worse. It's a little hard for me at this time because i lost my job so finances are low. But I am trying to find help so this doesnt happen again. The feralcat group at yahoo has been very helpful about tnr if i can find a vet who will help me, since i am not working and have the time to do it. Again Thanx so much for your support.

Thanx Diane, I am corresponding with Gesine. Have gotten some great info from this group. I had taken Trix and Tink to SPCA (only because i am not working yet) for spay and neuter and have since found out that they dont test for Felv.They had Rabies and Fiv shots there, but me not being knowlegable, I thought Fiv shot was for felv. I am now trying to learn and asking many more questions. Trix and Tink were found in field not of the same mother, so now I am thinking Trix might already have been positive.

Re: [Felvtalk] (no subject)
Thanx MC, Great idea. Everyone that i have called refers me to someone else.They are asking $60 for trap rental. I live in central Calif near Fresno so if there is anyone around here that can give me info on no kill shelters or help with TNR program thats cost effective it would sure be apprciated. Theres 1 little black ball of Fuzz thats lets me get close she already has me by the heartstrings. But the bigger ones scurry as soon as the patio door opens. Again Thanx for all the help.

Hi All, I am new to Felv and just lost my Trixter to this awful Disease. I want to thank all of you for the information I have been reading from you all. I have many ferals around my house because of the 3 fields that surround me. I have talked to the farmer but he is not interested in trying to help me help his cats. I have had to close up my cat door to protect my other 3. I dont know anything about rounding them up and would hate to catch them just to be put to death. Any suggestions.

Re: [Felvtalk] (no subject)
Thanx Marylyn, I really appreciate the info. I never tried to stop the ferals from coming into my yards, they usually come to drink from my pool but if I went out there they scrambled. I dont know how many there are, but have seen about 10 to 12 Trixter was a love and am still missing him terribly, I am sry about about Dixie Louise. The other 3 Micki Kitty 17yrs, Cocoa 5yrs and Tink almost 1 who was also bitten tested negative but will have to have them retested in 3 months per vets suggestion. Again Thanx for the info, Regards Sharon --- On Thu, 7/24/08, Marylyn [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: Marylyn [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] (no subject) To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Date: Thursday, July 24, 2008, 9:38 AM Check with Alley Cat Advocates or any TNR group in your area. Consider them a feral colony. They will help you. Live trapping is easy. Just remember to be very careful. A feral bit my finger and broke it.and, two surgeries later, it is doing fine. Luckily I had good insurance. And still had possession of the cat so she could be spayed and quarantined for the appropriate amount of time. If your cats really want to be outside, put up a dog kennel so they can go thru the pet door into the kennel. It is great. With farmland, you probably have fox and coyote. They will kill a cat in a heart beat. My Mom has ferals (people dump them in the strip mall behind her property) and she has to be concerned about the hawks. I just got a very small kitten from the pine thicket. She is in the bedroom now, napping. All of this is to say, be careful with your own cats. I did not realize all the dangers when I moved to the farm. I had hoped to have lots of cared for outside cats. That probably won't happen. Help the ferals you can. Mom has had a couple of dozen spayed/neutered and released. Some stay, some go. It is very hard when they go and all you can do is hope they found a good place to live. ACA has a good website with lots of information re caring for ferals. I am very sorry Trixter left this world. I just lost Dixie Louise. She made my life so much better though. I would not have missed one second of the time we had together. Not a nano second. Good luck.

Re: [Felvtalk] like seeing a ghost
Hi Lynne, I am so sry about your BOOBOO. I only had The Trixster not quite a year and it was devastating to lose him. I had also just rescued a siamese persian, we call her Tink and she was also bitten but has tested Negative so far will test again in 3 mos. No matter what the results she will be with me until whenever. I wont tell you what to do but maybe BOOBOO's son was sent to you for a special reason. The love these special babies bring to my life is immeasurable and I wouldnt have missed 1 min of the time I had with the Trixter.

It was without a doubt the most tragic thing I have ever been through in my life.. Not long after that we got a rescued persian Snowball who was neglected and in foster care for 4 months because she was so ill. She has feline herpes virus, not active and is absolutely thriving now. Tonight my husband calls me out to the front yard, and who is sitting there? BooBoo's son. I don't know if he is Felv positive or not. Just as BooBoo was, he has sores on his head, matted fur, dirty ears and most likely fleas. I feel like I'm experiencing our tragedy all over again. If I knew he was not positive, I would take him inside right now and those despicable people would never see him again. Odd how he has chosen our house to hang around. The owners were warned about taking care of their cats and I know all I have to do is call this field worker at the humane society and he will come and pick him up. I just don't know what to do. I could never subject Snowball to any harm, not after what she went through prior to living with us but I don't want to see this little guy suffer either. If this kitty is Felv positive, perhaps a rescue would take him. I simply could not afford the emotional and financial devestation we experienced watching BooBoo die. I'm totally confused right now.

Re: [Felvtalk] (no subject)
Thanx Tonya, Tink is vaccinated now, I had lost my job and so took Trixter and Tink to Spca for spay and neuter. I thought they had all their shots also like was done at my vets for the other 2 but found out the hard way losing Trixter that it was not the case.( My stupity)Micki Kitty17yrs and Cocoa 5 years got their boosters. But still have to have Tink retested. No matter the result she will stay with me. She has really helped me over the loss of Trixter. I have gone to the other sites recommended about ferals but until I am back to work it would be cost prohibative for me.
