[Felvtalk] Shelters and Sanctuaries for FelV

[dlgegg at windstream.net]

I am planning to send my babies to Rustic Hollow in Iowa when  I pass away.  They do ask a fee, but my guys are on special food and this has to cover vet bills also since they will be there for the rest of their lives.  All things considered, it is not too high for me to be sure my babies will have a good home.  They also take FELV positive kitties.
