Thank you all for your kind words... I guess when it comes to FeLV ( and
more than likely all cats and most creatures small, medium and large)...
we're all preaching to the choir... I know all of you would feel very
much the same as I and that I would offer similar words of condolence
and encouragement (not that it isn't still nice and very much
appreciated) I've watched many of you put heroic effort into saving
your Buddies and still others save every stray that ever meandered up to
their door. It's heartwarming and so encouraging to know that all of
you are out there doing what you can for these sweet creatures( and some
perhaps not so sweet..but in need none the less : ) ...... If more
people were like all the caring people on this forum there would BE no
homeless animals and shelters would merely be a very temporary stopover
and, perhaps, a convenient place to pick up one or two extra cats if
none happened to take up residence on your stoop that week... But.. If
wishes were horses then beggars would ride...
thank you all...
Bob
