Welcome! I currently feed Nutro Natural Choice Indoor formula. I also recommend Precise or Eagle Pack. Nutro is easier to find though.

RE: Message to post
Title: Message I just sent diet suggestions to your aol address. Would you mind please confirming when you get it. Don't concern yourself with putting Maximus on a diet. Be glad he enjoys his food! (One of the biggest problems many of us unfortunately encounter at some point in our FeLv kitties is lack of interest in eating.) One more thing: you will find that many members' advice is better than many vets' advice, as many--probably most---vets unfortunately don't know much about FeLV. take care, Kerry -Original Message-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED]Sent: Tuesday, March 15, 2005 1:45 PMTo: felvtalk@felineleukemia.orgSubject: Re: Message to post Thank you guys!

For vwali: RE: Message to post
Title: Message Hi, and welcome, though I'm very sorry for the reason you had to find us. Maximus is a lucky kitty to have found you and your boyfriend. You have definitely come to the right place---you'll get great advice AND moral support. I was lucky enough to find this list a year ago, and I don't know what I would have done without the incredibly helpful and specific advice, as well as all the moral support, that I got from the kind, wise, seasoned members on the list. They are a truly amazing group of individuals. I'm going to send you info on diet & supplements. Because much of it comes from a wonderful book that I was referred to when I was still reeling from the discovery that 5 of the 6 kitties I was in the process of taking in all had FeLV, I'm sending it to your private email address to reduce the risk of running into copyright issues. There are also 2 other books that are referred to a lot by members, which I don't yet have, but I'll dig up the precise names and send those also to you. Welcome again to you and Maximus. I'll be in touch again shortly.
