hi Kelley -= thanks for writing!  The volunteer was with Town Lake.  However, my friends in CA connected me with some people from Austin Pet's Alive rescue team.  I gave them his impound number - I'm still waiting for someone to call me.  I thought they were very difficult to work with, too, gla

I no longer do rescue. I did offer to help this kitty financially, I think I suggested cat TV videos and I suggested C&W shelter if he is positive. I also emailed privately a list member who lives in Chicago to ask what vet she goes to. It is hard on me emotionally to hear about kitties in need (fr

  It will sort itself out by me getting him tested, and determining if he's really positive, continuing to work with this lady, and networking with some local fosters who care for FeLV and could possibly take him, of which two are already aware. How does this smack of 'the writer not taking

You have no idea what my life entails. I am on the frontline every day and have been for years. Those here who know me, know that. And I have no idea what your life entails.

"You have no idea what my life entails."   exactly.  That's why it was hurtful you passed judgement on me, when we're all on the same team.  Thank you sincerely for all your care for the animals, Laurie.  You've clearly made a huge difference in many lives. --- On Sat, 1/22/11, Laurieskatz wrot

does anyone use this for their FeLVs? It's a probiotic enzyme designed for horses, but a holistic vet/teacher mentioned that FeLVs and FIVs should be on it and it's superior to most commercially available products.  thanks! ___ Felvtalk mailing

At age 78 I still do rescue work, as I have for many years. I see some heartbreaking cases, which upset me terribly, and there are times when I wish I could just stop doing this, but I find it impossible to abandon the many cats out there who so desperately need help. I too get upset when I read ab

I think the take away here should be to not post urgent cries for help until the facts are known.  There are too many FIV/FeLV kitties out there who truly need immediate assistance to squander valuable resources on false alarms.   1st hand knowledge of a situation outweighs 2nd or 3rd hand info t

I think being able to share situations is helpful, because others may have experienced similiar things. Asking for suggestions isn't really a cry for help or action, right? should we only be posting medical questions - I wasn't aware of that,  so just let me know if that's best and I will be sur
