FoA - 1-800-321-PETS or go to www.friendsofanimals.org and look for
certificates on the right sidebar.  They also give you a list of
participating vets in your area.
SPAY-USA - 1-800-248-SPAY - no websitethey also give you a list of
participating vets.
FoA is cheaper than SPAY-USA.
Some local humane societies also provide low-cost spaying/neutering.

This is in Greenwich, CT - not a lot cheaper elsewhere in the state, except
up NE/NW.  But our vets charge us a lot less, and using FoA certificates is
still the cheapest.

That is ridiculous.  The most I have paid is about $200 and that is  
laser with 3 days extra boarding (Lost two beautiful cats 3 days after  
they were spayed.  Different vets, unrelated cats within a couple of  
months of each other and had problems finding a vet as they died in my  
armswon't happen again).

I live outside o NYC & just got 2 stray kitties vaccinated, neutered,
microchipped & FELV tested.  Had s/n certificates & it still cost me $700.
And my vet is far from the highest fee.  We sometimes forget that vet care
is getting as expensive as human med care.  And when you consider that many
people have more than one pet, the cost can be beyond their reach.  At least
w. humans, you know that if your child gets really sick, you can go to any
emergency room--with pets, unless you've got the cash--you're not getting
treatment.  One vet about 10 miles from me charges $800 for male
neuterand has customers!

That is ridiculous.  The most I have paid is about $200 and that is laser
with 3 days extra boarding (Lost two beautiful cats 3 days after they were
spayed.  Different vets, unrelated cats within a couple of months of each
other and had problems finding a vet as they died in my armswon't happen
again).

to 
every

meds,
but the last few days she began to clamp her jaw, like enough. She was being 
syringe fed,
she couldn't eat-the mass in her neck got so large and hard. Her eyes became

she just wanted to hide, she was miserable. When I came home from work last 
night, I 
knew it was time. Thank you to the wonderful vets and staff at Sacramento Cat

October from Lymphoma and anemia. Rosie is our 6th and last FeLV kitty-her 4

So sad for you that you lost Rosie so soon after Murphy.  She brought Miso and

when she was gone.  She and Murphy are together again.

Rosie passed last night, I could not bear to watch her wasting away. The 
Lymphoma had
beat her. We had her on Pred and Leukeran-which shrank the mass near her throat 
the
first week, then it came back with a vengeance the next week. We increased it 
to 

every 
other day on the Leukeran to no avail. She was also on Lasix, Lysine, iron, b 
vitamins,
Interferon. She always came into the kitchen and waited for me to give her the 
meds,
but the last few days she began to clamp her jaw, like enough. She was being 
syringe fed,
she couldn't eat-the mass in her neck got so large and hard. Her eyes became 
empty and
she just wanted to hide, she was miserable. When I came home from work last 
night, I 
knew it was time. Thank you to the wonderful vets and staff at Sacramento Cat 
Hospital
for staying late so we could help Rosie join her man, Murphy at the bridge-he 
passed in
October from Lymphoma and anemia. Rosie is our 6th and last FeLV kitty-her 4 
brothers
passed in their first year from anemia, despite all  our efforts. I have never 
felt so defeated
and empty in my life. I did not have a clue about FeLV when we rescued the 
feral 

babies.
It has been a long and sad 2 years, Rosie and Murphy each just made it to 2 1/2 
yrs old.
Bless all of you fighting this battle-it is a long, and difficult journey, but 
these babies deserve
all the love in the world.  Alice with Miso and Sachi-the 2 negatives we 
adopted 

when Rosie
got so depressed when she was left alone after Murphy passed.

Alice, I am SO SORRY for your loss. It is SO HARD to lose our furchildren. It 
is such a lame phrase to say "I know what you are going thru," but I do, as all 
of us do. You are in my heart and thoughts.

Sincerely,
Alice Hanson
 (mother of Miss Clara, Sophie, and Templeton; all of which are on the other 
side of the rainbow playing with your Rosie and Murphy).

Re: [Felvtalk] Please add Rosie to CLS

Alice,
You and your dear husband tried so hard to save these babies.  I was saddened 
to read that Rosie has joined Murphy and her brothers at the Rainbow Bridge.    
We love them, care for them and in the end let them go.  You gave Rosie the 
greatest gift you could - her freedom from suffering.  
 
We all understand the pain you are feeling.  Rosie is now happily romping in 
the green meadows chasing butterflies with all our Angels.  You both are in my 
thoughts and prayers.
Sharyl

[Bonnie Hogue]

Oh Alice I am so sad to hear this news.  You have loved Rosie and her pal 
Murphy and done all you could and more.  My heart aches for your loss.
Prayers for little Rosie's journey, and for your strength.  Thank you for 
your love and compassion for these beings who otherwise would suffer so much 
more.

Peace to you.

[Christiane Biagi]

So sorry to hear... but please don't feel defeated!  You gave these little
ones the best possible chance & you know that they knew that.  I lost my
Romeo to lymphoma & for him, treatment was not really an option.  It's a
terrible disease--attacks fast with a vengeance.  His last few days were
tough but through it all, he knew that I'd do what was right for him--just
like you did with Rosie.

I am so sorry. Thank you for giving these poor babies wonderful life.
Rosie lived a full happy life and now she is with Murphy and the others. It
