<br><br><div dir="auto">On Dec 22nd, 2016 an ADORABLE young male kitty arrived crying @ our home. We already have 3 cats & a dog, so we tried to find him a home. After a month, and having allowed him inside (kept seperate from our zoo) due to lethally cold weather, we decided he was here to stay. I was DEVASTATED when he tested positive for FeLV. My problem isn't whether to give him a chance at as long of a happy life he may have ahead of him, but HOW ! We can't keep him alone in the basement bedroom forever, there isn't even a decent sized window for him & my heart breaks that the only time I can give him is to sleep by him at night. The few times I check in on him during the day are so brief! He has SUCH character, and is SO handsome. I don't know how he ended up at our home, unless he was dumped or left a nearby farm.<div dir="auto">WHERE are the rescue agencies for FeLV+ cats ? ? ? Currently I'm treating him for skin mites (has ear mites TOO) so he MIGHT be deemed "adoptable" at a shelter that does try adopting out FeLV+ cats. The precautions necessary to keep the mites, FeLV, oh yes- AND worms (had to treat EVERYONE) from spreading is also wearing me out.</div><div dir="auto">CAN ANYONE HELP US ?</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Feb 8, 2017 5:12 PM, <<a target="_blank" href="mailto:dlgegg@windstream.net">dlgegg@windstream.net</a>> wrote:<br type="attribution"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">My Annie is now 9 years old and was diagnosed as positive when I got her at age 4. She recently started sneezing and had runny eyes so off to the vet we went. She gave her a shot of antibiotic and some more to take at home. She seems to be improving, no more sniffles or runny eyes. So far the discharges have been clear but I did not want to wait a few days to be sure. He other problem is a lame left front leg. It is not broken and the vet thinks she probably sprained it when jumping dow from high places, which she does a lot trying to avoid Harley who is a real pest these winter days. If he cannot get outside, he is a terrorist on 4 legs, knocks things down, over, stares at me.<br>
