[Felvtalk] Little Girl Coco

[Kelley S]

Lorrie,

Yes, I would agree it is very difficult.  Unfortunately very difficult does
not mean impossible.  That's my problem. I  have no more kittens.  I have a
young adult cat who was born 1/7/13 who has been combo tested negative and
vaccinated along with all the other cats.
