CFA Purebred Rescue - Not entirely no kill, but a valuable resource if
dealing with purebred cats <http://cfapurebredrescue.org/>

Here at Little Cheetah, we believe that any cat that is living a good
quality of life, or has an excellent prognosis of recovering to live a good
quality of life once rehabilitated DESERVES a chance! We support The
Asilomar Accords <http://www.asilomaraccords.org/> +1. What does the +1
mean? It's simple, it means that while we support the typical ideals of the
general "No Kill" community, it also means we take it one step farther, to
include all asymptomatic FELV+ and FIV+ cats, as well as any other cat in
danger of being discriminated against due to medical limitation or
disability!
We take exception to Asilomar Accord Part III, Unhealthy and Untreatable,
Paragraph 2: *"(2) are suffering from a disease, injury, or congenital or
hereditary condition that adversely affects the animal's health or is
likely to adversely affect the animal's health in the future, and are not
likely to become "healthy" or "treatable" even if provided the care
typically provided to pets by reasonable and caring pet owners/guardians in
the community;"*
We feel that it is unfair to condemn an animal to death for something that
COULD happen many years in the future. We feel that QUALITY or life is much
more important than quantity of life - even short lives deserve to be
lived! We also believe that the "typically provided" care that the average
pet receives should not be the end all cut off point to which we should
"give up" on an animal. Special pets happen, and there ARE special people
out there willing to provide exceptional care for EXCEPTIONS to this rule!
We believe that there are conditions that are not treatable and that do
cause disability, that do not cause suffering, like Cerebellar Hypoplasia,
Blindness, and Terminal Heart conditions. We do not feel these cats are
candidates for Euthanasia!
Then, there's the simple fact... To us, you can't be "No Kill" if you're
still routinely euthanising healthy, asymptomatic cats because of a test
result!

Do you know of another NO KILL shelter or sanctuary that does not kill
FELV+ or FIV+ cats? If so, let us know!
