Thank you everyone. I think I have had enough of FeLV for awhile. There is a
new FeLV long haired orange and white kitten at the shelter and I know they
want to me to take it, but I don't want to expose him to FIP. I think I could
have handled the FeLV in Stamp, but the FIP on top of it, no.
Are you part of any rescue lists? There are rescue transport lists with
networks all over. There is even an air transport for animals. I'll see if I
can find some info for you.
If not, I'd be more than willing to send you a little money to help with gas.
