RE: Is Cheesecake On The Horizan?!
Tator, if this works I will join you in choking down a cheesecake (I never *got* it -- why would you want CHEESE in a CAKE?? Cakes are for chocolate and yummy cloyingly sweet icing!) If this works, so much future heartache will be averted. I suppose it's too much to hope that it will come in time for most of the kitties on this list, but here's hoping anyway! Diane R.

Pilot Study Will Help Determine If New Cobra-Venom Drug Cures Feline Leukemia For more than a year we've been waiting for the federal government to approve a license application to use a new cobra-venom based drug in a large placebo controlled double blind research study that will scientifically determine if the new drug cures feline leukemia (FeLV). The manufacturer has already received approval from the State of Florida to proceed, but - if the drug cures the disease - sales would be limited to Florida veterinarians and Florida cat owners. Federal approval would allow sales anywhere. Because of the federal delay, Dr. Julie Levy of the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine suggested we conduct a smaller 18-30 cat, four month, placebo controlled double blind pilot study using the Florida license. The pilot study will follow the same procedures and be conducted in the same manner as a larger follow-up study using 100+ FeLV positive cats. The larger study will be conducted if the pilot study shows good results. Good results from the pilot study could expedite federal approval for a larger study - which Dr. Levy would supervise. The larger 100+ cat study will prove conclusively that the drug cures, or does not cure, FeLV. The drug's manufacturer will supply the drug to us for both studies (at no charge) and will supervise the pilot study (with the results forwarded to Dr. Levy). No harm will come to the cats. The drug is safe and there are no known side effects. For the last two weeks I've been looking for a location to conduct the pilot study (we can't do it at the sanctuary). Once we find a place, I can put a final budget together. We will need to raise money for the pilot study and if we proceed to the bigger study, we'll have to raise money for that, too. Donors to either study will receive a tax deduction. If the drug does cure FeLV, 10th Life will receive a royalty on each sale of the drug because (1) we are raising the necessary research funds (the manufacturer's research budget is for human - not animal - trials), and (2) we will be supplying the FeLV+ cats. We will probably need more FeLV+ cats. In a few days I'll know if we need more FeLV+ cats and will ask you, then, if you have, or know someone who has, FeLV+ cats that could participate in the pilot study. Most FeLV+ cats are routinely put down by their owners... this research is necessary because, if the drug cures FeLV, many lives will be saved. In the meantime, please continue to support us with a donation... I spend most of my time raising operating funds and now that I'm spending a lot of time trying to get this study underway, I am not out there raising operating funds.

I got the email I've been waiting for today. I have been trying to adopt this adorable little rescued cat, persian, for a couple weeks now. I have missed BooBoo so much and have been through such emotional garbage with the previous owners of him that I just need another cat to give a good life to. This cat was rescued from a horrible person who had a pet shop in town. The humane society and SPCA went in and seized his animals and the City took his business licence away. This cat, (Snowball) was so sick, eyes swollen shut from infection, URI and it has taken the foster woman a month to get her well. She got final approval from the vet to be let go, has got her shots updated and that's that. She had been disgnosed with herpes. I know, I'm getting myself into another potential situation here, but at least I know what I have to deal with if an outbreak occurs. The vet was going to have her spayed before releasing her but I convinced him that I would do it in the near future once she has settled down in her new home. I wish I had never had BooBoo neutered so quickly after getting him. I truly believe it triggered his rapid downfall. Anyway, I now have the foster mom's personal email and we are going to start the process of her coming to me. I am just so happy to be able to look after another little lost soul. Lynne

I have had that same thought about Booboo but didn't want to say it...we waited to spay Isabella (FeLV+), too.

Re: newgirlexpected
Thank you Laurie. I am not one hundred percent certain that Snowball was diagnosed with Herpes but this is what the general opinion is and considering her living conditions prior to the foster mom's getting her, it is most likely what she has. I guess I'll know more when I get the vet reports and her immunization records. She's healthy now but needs her eyes cleaned daily. Apparently some persians have this issue with runny eyes??? It only made sense to me that she should not be spayed so soon after we get her. People with herpes virus have the same problem of stress triggering outbreaks. Thank heavens you didn't have your Isabella spayed. I will definitely get some rescue remedy and some lysine(?). Laurie I was on the herpes group but got so angry at this guy who is breeding cats with herpes virus in some attempt to irradicate the virus that I left. It was becoming seriously argumentative and emotionally I am just not up to fighting these days. I do have some guilt about what happened to BooBoo. I am just so sorry we neutered him, but the vet said he was healthy enough to handle it. I would never place blame on anyone, except for the criminals who sold him to us, but if only I knew then what I know now things may have been different. His blood work was bleak. He was a very ill little guy but still, who knows how it may have turned out. Extremely hard lesson to learn. Snowball will never replace BooBoo or our wonderful Chuck or Lennie, who doesn't appear to be leaving any time too soon but I think she will bring some much needed joy into this house.

So, I too feel she will bring much happiness to your family. Congratulations!!! PS - I have only had one purebred Persian - Priscilla, who was born on the 4th of July 1990 and left us 16 years later.

Re: newgirlexpected
Thank you. I'm certain I will be talking to you with your knowledge of persians. To show you how much I know I wasn't even sure she was one. I just thought she looked so sweet and in a small way reminded me of Boo. The field worker for the humane society called me last evening to let me know that he had been to Boo's previous owner's house asking for info about their breeding practices and contacts of others who bought a cat from them. I told him I was trying to adopt this cat named Snowball and it was him who told me definitively that she is a persian. He in fact was the one who rescued her from this guy in town. He said he had wondered where she wound up and was very happy to hear she was coming to us. Snowball is kind of a poster child for neglected cats around here.

Re: newgirlexpected
Oh Lynne. I have not been on that group for awhile. That is disgusting. I have stopped visiting other groups where breeders lurk. Re Booboo, some kitties just respond poorly to anesthesia and also it can awaken sleeping threats. My Squeak (FeLV+) had not been under anesthesia except to be neutered and declawed by his prior owner. I adopted him at age 8. At 22 he needed a dental cleaning. The vet had been scraping the tartar off his teeth for years but felt we needed a dental. Pre surgery blood work was perfect. Two months later he was dead from oral cancer. Did the anesthesia awaken a sleeping virus? I will never know but he was the PICTURE of health before this. I don't blame anyone but it makes me very sad. He was my soul mate. I have read that Persians' flat faces make them more susceptible to upper respiratory problems. I suppose the eye problem susecptibility would also make sense.You will probably learn alot from her that you can share with others along the way. Blessings. You deserve them!

I know, I'm getting myself into another potential situation here, but at least I know what I have to deal with if an outbreak occurs. The vet was going to have her spayed before releasing her but I convinced him that I would do it in the near future once she has settled down in her new home. I wish I had never had BooBoo neutered so quickly after getting him. I truly believe it triggered his rapid downfall. Anyway, I now have the foster mom's personal email and we are going to start the process of her coming to me. I am just so happy to be able to look after another little lost soul.

Re: newgirlexpected
Pat it's been 19 years since we had a new kitty in the house, with the exception of precious Boo who only lived with us a month but has his photos right there front and centre with our previous boy and present guy. I don't think Snowball's eyes are going to be a terrible issue. She just needs someone to wipe them daily. The foster mom says she only has to do it once a day now whereas in the beginning it was twice. It seems there are persian people on this list who will be invaluable to us.

I have always found great joy whenever I have adopted a new kitty--for whatever reason. So, I too feel she will bring much happiness to your family. Congratulations!!! PS - I have only had one purebred Persian - Priscilla, who was born on the 4th of July 1990 and left us 16 years later. She, like many Persians did have eyes which needed to be cleaned often.

Re: newgirlexpected
Oh Laurie, how horrible for you to lose your cat at 22 after the cleaning especially since he lived so long and was a positive. How absolutely heart breaking. Lennie has never had his teeth cleaned under anesthesia. He has always eaten hard food and now I mix it with some softer food but everytime he goes to the vet they check his teeth and they're fine. I probably will never have that procedure done to him unless there were an abscess or something. Too risky. Speaking of risk, I called Lennie's vet, only because they are familiar with him and told them what I was planning to do, getting Snowball, and should I have him vaccinated for the Herpes Virus. I forget what 2 things it involves, and he said, oh yes, bring him in. He'll need a physical and then we'll vaccinate him. Lennie was sick last summer with a dermatitis and ear infection, not mites, just an ear infection. He went nuts on Prednisone so came off it and once it was discovered he had a thyroid issue, many hundreds of dollars later, he was put on thyroid medication and you'd swear he'a a 10 year old again. Anyhow, I then called BooBoo's vet and told him the story. He said, do not vaccinate your old guy. It could be more harmful than benefit. He also assured me that if Snowball is vaccinated and is symptom free I should have nothing to worry about. If she does have an outbreak, I would need to isolate her until she is well again. Lennie will not even go near her. This I know. He avoided BooBoo like the plague and has no interest in other animals whatsoever. I will have to be diligent about litter boxes, dishes etc but I'm really not worried. With what we have just gone through, we can handle this.

Re: newgirlexpected
Well that's reassuring. I'm not gonna sleep tonight I'm so excited. Even my husband, who wouldn't even look at her picture when I tried showing it to him at first is excited. He's taken BooBoo's death very hard. Tonight though he looked at her photo and exclaimed, that's her !!!. Then he started to smile and admitted he's anxious to have her. I just hope this cat loves me the most. The two males we've had and even BooBoo have always wound up on Bob's lap or when Josh lived at home, his lap. I've always been the second choice. Maybe Snowball being a female will want to hang with me more.

Hi Slinky adopted my sister a year and a half ago. He was cautious to be her cat as he was probably dumped off. He finally befriended her and her canine lab mixes who loved chasing cats. Slinky was fearless andhe invited his self into her home. With his laid back attitude the dogs did not give chase. The day Junior passed I called Laura to cry on her shoulder. She informed me Slinky was sleeping a lot and somewhat lethargic. He was also off his food. I told her get him to a vet ASAP, which she did. She found out that he was FELV positive. He had a fever. The vet gave fliuds and sent abx home with her. Laura was scared . She decided to give it a chance as this cat chose her. Well folks it was not meant to be the cat went off. She found him hiding under her porch and she could see in his eyes he was ready to go. So she took him to another vet who checked everything out and she decided to set him free. She feels as I do that Junior was letting us know that Slinky was not well. So please add Slinky to the CLS for Laura. Hopefully Slinky will send her someone to love soon.
