Hello everyone!!!
Im new to your site and have been reading it for the last couple of weeks and have decided to join and share my news. I had 4 cats 2yrs ago and came across 3 kittens in a shed that was falling down and I left them there thinking the mother had taken off after hearing me. Went to check on them the next day and it didnt look like the mother had been there at all the kittens were crying and not knowing what to do I took two home and my friend took the other one. Had them checked at the vet and were told they were 4 to 5 weeks old and that unless I was going to care for them they would be put to sleep. So I not really knowing any better took them home. Vet told me to seperate them for two weeks from my other cats incase of fiv and any other diseases. which we did. They did great, started to put on weight and of course I named them Buttons and Scaredy Cat. Well I didnt know nor did my friend they were FIV positive. I didnt know this til about a year later when one of them took a turn for the worst. She had a bad heart murmur and URI. she was having so much trouble that I felt her quality of life wasnt what she would have wanted. I just recently lost the second cat Scaredy Cat she went down hill in a matter of weeks. Well more like 5months ago but it still feels like recently. My other 3 cats had been vacc. for the disease and have not come up positive and I continued to test them every six months for the last year of Scaredy Cats. Thats the sad part sorry. Now the exciting part Im traveling 7 hours away to pick up a new kitten from a place called purrs and whiskers he is 12 weeks old FIV clean and he is all white and right now has a touch of ringworm but i will clear that up in a couple of weeks. They have let me know that he is deaf and that why he has not found a home yet. I dont care. Well sorry it was so long just had to get all excited.
