<div dir="ltr">There are some other places to list on Facebook, if you would like the links. One thing that struck me when I read your post was confusion on my part as to what exactly you wanted. It seemed to me reading it, and I may be reading things into this, that you did not want the kittens to go to a home with FELV+ cats in there already. That, in addition to the adoption fee, is going to make it *almost* impossible to ever find these kittens a home (nothing is 100% impossible of course). Also, once you adopt the kitten out, you don't have control over what the adopters do later. They may bring in FELV+ cats later. My heart kitty died of heart disease brought on by a congenital defect. I spent a lot of time holding her and crying because she was going to die. They are all going to die, we hope after many years in a happy home. I spent more time mourning her death than I did celebrating her life. This was a grave mistake on my part.<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Nov 14, 2014 at 12:15 PM, Marsha <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:martia@lynxe.com" target="_blank">martia@lynxe.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Some adopters may make a donation to the organization they adopt a zero-fee cat from. I did. You might make a cat low or no fee, but say, "donations gratefully accepted". If you list on PetFinder, consider adding FeLV+ to the heading, besides just listing them as "special needs". Some people are looking specifically for a FeLV+ cat as a companion for one they already have, and not putting that in the heading forces those people to sift through every special needs listing to find the FeLV+ kitty. I turned to PetFinder after having no luck locally finding a companion for Harley, and did a search by zip code. I specified "up to 100 miles", and that's how I found Brock. Actually, 113 miles away, but the search goes by zip code.<br>
<br>
There are also some listings here (up for adoption or looking to adopt FeLV, FIV, FIP +): <a href="http://www.bemikitties.com/felv/cgi-bin/suite/classifieds/classifieds.cgi" target="_blank">http://www.bemikitties.com/<u></u>felv/cgi-bin/suite/<u></u>classifieds/classifieds.cgi</a><br>
You can also get to that by the <a href="http://felineleukemia.org" target="_blank">felineleukemia.org</a> website.<br>
<br>
One other place to list is the PurringPixie yahoo group.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

Amy,<br>
I wish you the best of luck in placing these kittens. I had a litter of 4 positive kittens and tried very hard to find good homes for them, with no luck, so they lived with me until they passed away, most before they were 1 year old. It was a very busy year, but they were a lovely little group and it was nice seeing them stay together as a family for the time they had.<br>
I have to agree with Kelley that a $115 adoption fee in reality is not likely to help you get them placed in homes. In my experience, people just don't want to adopt and get attached to, much less pay a fee for, a kitty who will probably not live long. I was lucky enough to be working with a larger rescue organization who covered their shots, spay/neuters and testing expenses. I just provided the home, food, love and tears :)<br>
I suggest making flyers with the best photos you can get, and make them sound very friendly and loving. Play the sympathy card for all it's worth! :)<br>
