Re: Foster Home urgently needed for FeLV cat

I cannot take in another cat at this time, unfortunately. Plus I am in Georgia. But please widely crosspost this situation. Most of us on this list have felv positive cats that live with our felv negative cats.Many people are now willing to mix cats because the vaccine may not be 100% effective, but we most of us have not had problems with mixing adult cats.You are limiting your chances by looking for homes with no negative cats when there ARE people who have negative cats that WILL take a positive if they are educated about felv.Good luck with Jorge. He deserves to live, and I hope someone will take him.Tad???
