To Nina and others who read this thread: male calico and black girl kittens
I called the woman who posted about the calico male and black female and she runs a rescue in Arlington, right next to Dallas. I was upset that she left her post the way she did (ie. it's over). She told me that she did pts the kittens, which of course, upset me to hear. I asked her to please not leave us hanging like that again as it was upsetting for us to read that and not know what she meant. I could hear in her voice a lot of frustration at trying to get them adopted out and that one of her personal cats had contracted the FeLV from the kittens, according to her. She had bottle fed the two kittens and had had them for a year, so she was clearly upset about the situation. She did not want to pts and said that she had tried to get them adopted out for months, but was concerned for all the other cats. She did say that later an IFA showed that her personal cat was negative, so that's a good thing. I told her a little about what we've found out here about FeLV and urged her to post back if she came across any more FeLV positives in her rescue before pts. I know this will put your minds a little at rest, unrestfully. I hope we don't get anymore of these posts because they are upsetting! Wendy __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

I know Carrie personally and I am shocked and surprised. You know I am disappointed with this entire state and the attitude towards animals. Animal controls shooting strays, gas chambers.just the fact you can shoot a dog if its treat to chickens...why I am surprised they have this attitude towards positives I will never know. I don't know any rescue people in this area with a open mind about positives. But then again Texas executes more people then the next five states combined. Its about time they come out of the dark ages. I am moving back east to be with my kids and hopefully its still the south but maybe they will have a better attitude. I offered to fly my vet on my buddy passes to a felv seminar and he declined. They simply are not interested. I am from NY and they say we are cold and cruel but never in my life have I ever been in a state that has little regard for human or animal life. Write a hot check any you wont see the light of day for a long time but commit animal abuse and you might get probation.sorry for venting. I watched the news last night about a guy with a bunch of wolf hybrids. breeding them of course. They had films of the wolves fightingthe great state of Texas has declared that "they are just being wolves and doing the same thing they would be doing in the wild." mean while the neighbors cant get any sleep with all the noise. BREEDING WOLVES NEEDS TO BE ILLEGAL. There is something seriously wrong with these people. The state seems to think if they have food water and shade the man has a right to make a living. God help these people for they know not what they do. Karen God help them all

Hey Karen I just want to add that I know of 3 county shelters that took the time themselves to find special homes for FeLV+ cats... Road Island, New York State and my own Vermont...

YES NORTHERN STATES northern states and California seem to care. Is that why I am so fanatical about animal rights cause I am a Yankee? Guess it doesn't matter. I have to remain positive and move on. I have babies here that need homes. I cant change all the attitudes but I can change some and every little bit helps.
