My kitten tested positive on his IFA test. My vet told me I should
keep him isolated, or euthanize him. I couldn't do the latter, and
isolating him ... well, I think that would just stress everyone out
even more. So after calling a good friend while sitting outside of
the vet's office
would have it no other way

Maizee Grace would be so proud of the work you are doing at Sids. Your work is
a wonderful tribute to her.

Hi Lisa - In my opinion you are doing the right thing. I have 7 cats; one,
who I adopted in July 2007 at about age 5, is positive. My other cats are
all adults. I discussed thoroughly with my vet, who said the vaccine is
more than 90% effecttive and that it is very unlikely my healthy adult
Lisa, I don't think any of us can tell you what is the right thing to do. I
rescued 2 dumpster kittens early this year. Both were kept in the garage until
vetted. Both tested positive. Then I rescued a 3rd kitten from the colony.
She tested negative. I kept Sissy and Rocket in the garage
She is there but in a much different form. She is especially close
when times are sad. Please talk to her. YOu will be surprised.

Please check with a holistic vet if that fits into your belief system
and feed the absolute best diet you can. It does not have to be the
most expensive, but one full of vitamins (C especially--grind up
veggies and mix with the food). Avoid grains. Stick with this

A friend has mixed positives and negatives with the negatives never becoming
positive.
It's important to keep the negatives healthy because of the depressed immune
system of the positive kitty. If someone does get sick, they should be
isolated for the protection of all the kitties.

HI Lisa
You will not regret keeping this kitty. I wound up mixing my positives and
negative because they were all exposed before I found out what was going on.
I felt it was less stressful. Keep the litter box cleaned out. I really
thought I could not manage what I had going on. I will nto go
I am at work and I just thought of something. I am a nurse and come
in contact with human bugs all the time. Is it logical for me to
think that I should NOT let ANY of my cats come in contact with my
clothes or shoes when I come home? Or are the human bugs not a risk
for them.
My shoes never come into the house...they can bring in all kinds of things.
Visitors are asked to take their shoes off at the door.

Hi Sue,
I would get him checked as soon as possible even if you have to go
somewhere else. I don't want to scare you but it could be a tumor or
some kind of blockage in his sinuses. Does his breathing sound at all
different or labored? I hope it is something easily treatable ...

I am so sorry for your loss. Romeo was lucky to show up at your doorstep.

Thanks for sharing your story. I believe the rescued kitties are the most

A great tribute to Romeo (and you). Thanks for sharing!
You now have one more guardian angel watching over you.
