[Felvtalk] FeLV Sanctuaries..

[ROBERT CHAPEL]

Jennifer...

You had inquired about rescues and sancuaries and I couldn't recall too 
many the other day... I've added a few below.... this is hardly a 
comprehensive list....  Every time you do a search different ones will 
come up...  and it also depends on the search engine......

Meanwhile.... here are a couple of the places that I located along the 
way.....   I can't vouch for how helpful they would be to you but... 
it's a start if you care to follow up.....   Thought I also saw a note 
from you ON the Merrimack River Rescue Site???...


Unfortuneately I'm going to have to give them to you my name rather than 
as links because I've tried numerous times to send links and my mailers 
content scanner is picking up " spam "....   I don't know which of the 
sites below is regarded as spam ( I didn't get any warning about going 
to any of the sites initially_ so I am flumoxed ..


The first is a place called Second chance rescue in the State of 
Washington...  You'll have to google it because ( as I mentioned 
above...if I format it as a URL the mail might again bounce...   Another 
is _ pawsativekarmarescue... they are in texas and sound like a very 
small operation.... may not still exist as last information was from 
@2013

Another is the Felineleukemiacarecenter... they are based in 
Minnesota.... they at least mention that they charge a surrender fee... 
 Unable to say if they are of any quality or not.... ALL must be checked 
out thoroughly before sending an animal to them if you want to be sure 
of it's safety...


Then there is the bestfriends sanctuary in Utah.... They are a very 
large operation that has been around quite a few years and provide a 
home to many hundreds of animals ( per their website and other info I 
have seen_ They put out a good blog and their site is also a good source 
of general information...


The last two are worth checking out as well.....   
 Loveandhopeforanimals ( another well funded operation in Upstate New 
York and  Aslanscats also in the Northeast





http://loveandhopeforanimals.org( a well funded sanctuary in Northern 
New York State...definitely worth a look if you are not too far away...

Thanks for your kindness to this little guy.... if it weren't for people 
like you and our other group members a LOT more cats would be living 
MUCH more difficult lives.

Have to get going.... I volunteer at my Local Shelter and try to get 
there for a few hours on Sundays.....    Again.....  I'd keep the boy if 
you possibly can...  maybe work out an arrangement with you local 
shelter ( if they are a no kill) to help with Vet bills if he turns out 
to be a sick guy ( I adopted two FeLV cats...one cost me dearly 
financially as he was sick from the get go....the other guy is going to 
the vet for the first time tomorrow ( apart from being looked at by the 
shelter vet a few times..... I want him to have baseline bloodwork and a 
good physical , fecal and his 1 year Rabies.... ( I'm still in a quandry 
about doing or not doing the Rabies.... but some vet practices will not 
see cats UNLESS they've been innoculated...


Best,
Bob
