Re: [Felvtalk] FeLV+ and Cigarette Smoke

I hope he has a happy and loving home..I've a friend that smokes and she has 
two FeLV+ cats. There is no problem unless a cat develops a resp infection in 
which case she should be in an smokeless room_like any other cat with 
respiratory problems should be_ but other than that
I've never heard of smoke being a particular no-no for FeLVers.

Re: [Felvtalk] FeLV+ and Cigarette Smoke/reply

Hi  Can I ask you how you were able to find someone to adopt the cat?  I have 
been trying to adopt my female FELV pos cat out (Chloe) for about 3 months now 
with no luck.  Where does the gentleman live?  I wonder if he would like to 
have a buddy for the cat he just adopted?  Dot

Hi,
 
We have someone interested in adopting our FeLV+ 
boy and it sounds like a great home, but the gentleman smokes. Does anyone know 
if this would be a considerable risk for a FeLV cat? I know smoke isn't good 
for 
humans or cats, but I'm wondering if the FeLV would complicate matters. Other 
than that, it sounds like a great home. He'd be a companion to a homebound 
gentleman who's looking for company.

Re: [Felvtalk] FeLV+ and Cigarette Smoke

[Cindy McHugh]

Thanks to everyone for their input on the smoking applicant! It's been a 
difficult decision, but I've decided not to decline the applicant based solely 
on the fact that he smokes, so we're going to proceed. Of course, all other 
standard procedures will apply (reference check, home visit, etc).

I appreciate the fact that the person is honest. He's applying through his 
sister and she made it a point to inform me of the smoking situation and voiced 
concerns regarding whether it would be a risk for Tumble due to his FeLV+ 
status. I hadn't had any experience with smoking specific to FeLV+ cats, so I 
thought I'd post here for input. 

Based on personal experience, most people who have contacted me feel the risk 
would be minimal. While I also value the thoughts of those who advised against 
the adoption and I'd prefer a non-smoking environment, I have to weigh that 
against the alternatives. Tumble is currently living in a basement (a 
"daylight" basement with windows, but still, with limited human interaction). 
The applicant is homebound due to health problems and is looking for a 24/7 
companion. He wants to adopt both Tumble and his companion Cody; I'd love for 
these boys to stay together, as they came to me together and are best buddies. 
The thought of them being beloved companions warms my heart.

So... it may not be perfect, but if they'll have good vet care and a loving 
home, I think I'll go ahead with the adoption. Doing so will also free up some 
space and allow me to help others that would otherwise be euthanized.

Please send good thoughts that everything works out for what's best for the 
boys.

Thank you all again!
Cindy, Tumble, and Cody

My suggestion is if you don't want to adopt to people that smoke. Be up

Also, if your a rescue/shelter put it in your rules and guidelines on your 
applications that you don't adopt your kitties to smokers.
This way the adopter doesn't feel bad or have their heart set on the kitty.

Re: [Felvtalk] FeLV+ and Cigarette Smoke

[Beth]

unfortunately if you put on your application that you don't adopt to smokers 
many people would just lie about it. that's  why we don't put on the app that 
we don't adopt to people who declaw or let their cats outside.they say they 
don't, but you do the vet check & find out differently. second hand smoke is 
terrible for people & animals. If you smoke outside that's one thing, but not 
around animals or children.

I'm a smoker have been for 40 years. I do not smoke directly in front of my cats/kittens. My personal kitties have never gotten sick or develop cancers from smoke this includes my FELV kitties.

Re: [Felvtalk] FeLV+ and Cigarette Smoke

[Natalie]

I would too, if they aren't chain smokers and smoke outside..however, I've
known too many cats with lymphoma from homes of smokers.fact!  And those
cats were not FeLV+!

Hi,

 

We have someone interested in adopting our FeLV+ boy and it sounds like a
great home, but the gentleman smokes. Does anyone know if this would be a
considerable risk for a FeLV cat? I know smoke isn't good for humans or
cats, but I'm wondering if the FeLV would complicate matters. Other than
that, it sounds like a great home. He'd be a companion to a homebound
gentleman who's looking for company.

 

Thanks for your time and input.

Cindy

Hi,

 

We have someone interested in adopting our FeLV+ boy and it sounds like a
great home, but the gentleman smokes. Does anyone know if this would be a
considerable risk for a FeLV cat? I know smoke isn't good for humans or
cats, but I'm wondering if the FeLV would complicate matters. Other than

I would adopt to a smoker before I adopted to someone with flimsy window 
screens.  I would adopt to an adult smoker before I adopted to a non-smoker 
with small children.

I'm a smoker.  And our personal cats live to be around 18 years of age.
 
I would not reject an adoptive home merely because a family member smokes.

Our shelter doesn't adopt out ANY cat to anyone who smokes indoors. FeLV cats 
(actually all cats) need a clean, healthy environment.
