[Felvtalk] Introducing Daisy's Babies
I have been feeding a dumpster colony of kitties for several months with the goal of doing TNR (trap/neuter/release) for those that I can not rescue. Of the 3 kittens I rescued 2, Sissy and Rocket, were FeLV+. They are about 9 months old now and are doing well. Both have test positive twice. Their sister, Daisy, had a litter before I was able to TNR her. The kittens were approx. 4 weeks old when I got them. I took them because 1 had both eyes stuck shut and 1 had 1 eye stuck shut. The next day I was finally able to trap Daisy using a kitten as bait in the carrier. Daisy has since been spayed and released. The babies have received one worm treatment, got terramycin salve in their eyes for a week, and have lysine added to their food. It appears that Mattie will be blind. She is the biggest of the 4 and very feisty. I had her tested and the vet said she was very, very, very FeLV+. No idea what 3 verys mean. CJ may have some limited vision in her bad eye. Bright Eyes and Houdini (escaped from the dog crate twice now) seem healthy. I am adding L-Lysine and Mega C Plus to their food. I am looking for advice on what else I can do to help them throw off this virus. They will each be tested when I have them spayed. Sissy and Rocket were several months old when I rescued them. Didn't know if starting treatments earlier would improve the odds that they could beat this. Any advise on how to proceed with now 5 1/2 wk old kittens would be appreciated. By the way Stormie, same colony but different Mom from Sissy, Rocket and Daisy, tested negative. I did not have Daisy tested. I knew I could not afford to keep her if she was positive and simply do not have the disposition to have a cat PTS simply because she is positive. At least she will not have any more litters. There is one more sister, Mae, that I have been trying to trap for TNR.

Re: [Felvtalk] Introducing Daisy's Babies
Sharyl -- Best wishes to you and to all these babies. Whatever future they have is already brighter with you taking such good care of them. About Daisy, I guess I would say that if in the future she looks like she's actively sick, bring her in and, if you can't afford to keep her, do the kind thing so she's not out there suffering. I'm not of that disposition either but no matter what, they shouldn't suffer. Diane R.

Re: [Felvtalk] Introducing Daisy's Babies
You are right Diane. Right now neither Daisy or Mae appear to be actively sick. They are about 9 months old. They eat, play and sun themselves like any other 9 mo. old kitty. They live in the woods behind an old dumpster site and are the 1st to come running every afternoon at feeding time.
