Re: [Felvtalk] FW: Cats Suffer and Die at Animal 'Sanctuary'
One of my cats came from a sanctuaryafter having been deemed unadoptable by the group who initially rescued her . I fostered this tiny, pregnant, emaciated kitten in my home and cared for her and (later) her babies, who eventually went up for adoption. In the 6 weeks after she left my home and was taken there (when the place was shut down by law enforcement) she had lost two pounds...though she was underweight to begin with, had lost a canine tooth and had an upper respiratory infection. I drove the three hours down to get her back, brought her home and nursed her back to healthand otherwise left her to adjust on her own. Now, barely 18 months later, she is healthy and robust...and even allows me to pet her. She will never be a lap cat, but I can live with that...just to see her thrive and be happy is good enough for me. And this story is just one of manyI am sure some sanctuarys are just that, but they are the exception, I fear!

Re: [Felvtalk] FW: Cats Suffer and Die at Animal 'Sanctuary'
There is a place in the Houston area and I have first hand knowledge of what a horrid place this is, yet people still take their cats there. It is called Cat Nap Estates and IN MY OPINION, the woman running it should not care for potted plants. I had her hold two feral cats for a couple of months while we were moving and our house was being built. They went completely vetted, yet they came back with a litney of illnesses and so terrified. The vet said she didn't think the female was ever let out of her carrier because it stunk so badly they had to throw it away. I called the SPCA and made a cruelty report and some of the cats tested positive for Feluk and these cats were in the general population. I have heard other horror stories about her and her sanctuary from others too. She may have started out with good intentions, but the road to h*ll is paved with good intentions.

Re: [Felvtalk] FW: Cats Suffer and Die at Animal 'Sanctuary'
This is the problem with most sanctuaries. It's a flawed business model. A sanctuary by definition offers lifetime care So they fill up fast and, as the population ages, become more and more expensive to maintain. And usually the people who try to start sanctuaries keep taking in new animals, sometimes because they need the surrender fee to keep the operation running and sometimes because they simply have a hard time saying no. This is just not a sustainable model. The few good long term sanctuaries really limit the population. And they very often have an adoption component that allows them to make space by placing animals in good homes. You just can't keep taking animals in with no way to decrease the population. It becomes unwieldy very quickly. --- On Thu, 2/24/11, Edna Taylor taylore...@msn.com wrote: From: Edna Taylor taylore...@msn.com Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] FW: Cats Suffer and Die at Animal 'Sanctuary' To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Date: Thursday, February 24, 2011, 12:37 PM There is a place in the Houston area and I have first hand knowledge of what a horrid place this is, yet people still take their cats there.

What I had prayed for was an abscess-the vets don't think I am going to be that lucky. They did a couple of needle aspirations and we will wait for the results. They want me to begin pred and pennG right away while we wait. Keep her on the Interferon to help her immune system because the pred will suppress it. She is extremely bright, no temp-has gained almost 1/2 lb since her tonsillitis in January. She has been hallway racing with Miso and wrestling too!

[Felvtalk] Scrappy Angel over the Rainbow Bridge today
My little Scrappy boy was coming to the end of his fight, I only had him for 8 months when he walked into my home and was already in bad condition, hence the Scrappy name, I didn't think he was going to live 1 month. at that time. Though I should have named him Angel for all the love he gave me, he'd started responding to Scrappy so I kept calling him that. I've had plenty of cats in my lifetime, not often do they care for face to face contact with people, but he'd look straight into my eyes lean forward and rub his cheek on mine, even placing his paws on my chest to stabilize himself when reaching for me (sometimes I wouldn't realize right away what he was doing). The vet said he was 8 years old, so he must have contracted FeLV as an adult. He'd stopped eating, had labored breathing and had taken to hiding. His sunken eyes lost any indication of light and so we stopped any more injections or treatments and I had to have him laid to rest today.
