Our shelter now has 3 Feline Lukemia positive cats. We are a small shelter and are really not set up for having positive cats. On Saturday we got #3, he is only about a year, but is positive & appears to be feral. The other 2 we have are both super sweet. We will work with the feral cat, but we really need to get these cats home. I am just wondering if anyone has tips on how they find homes for cats with this disease?

There are a few FeLeuk positive forums/yahoo groups you can appeal to and see if someone will take on another, the majority of the ones we found homes for, people had contacted us saying they were looking for a +ve cat to get their cat a buddy

http://www.bemikitties.com/felv/cgi-...lassifieds.cgi is one of the biggest.

I find with all special needs cats, writing up their story, giving people an overview of their medical treatment so far and potential costs often means they get adopted sooner. But honestly, I think a lot of them go home with volunteers too
