OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!
I have one less thing to whine about!

I don't know if I should be happy or cry. I just checked my HS's website. There were cats exposed to FeLV, 5 of which were my surrenders. Well, three of those five are listed on the website!

My Pandora

My Zorro

My Gabriel

Plus, Teddy who has allergies & was exposed inadvertantly(I don't know how?) is up for adoption after 2+ months of quarantine. They thought he had ringworm, when he is allergic to clay litter.

Then there's these two that weigh about a ton each. Snipper(pronounced Sniper) & Oreo.

Then there's Sweet Pea who had 2(of 6-the two by C-section died) kittens by C-section, then nursed them, weaned them, came back to the HS from a foster home, got sick & was quarantined to her cage for a month & had finally been allowed out of her cage for 1 1/2 weeks before she was exposed.

Soot was exposed to ringworm, but has since gotten over it.

I do want to cry, though. One of my surrenders, Kai, isn't listed. Kai was nursed back to health by me after my dog got too rough with him(she has learned not to hurt kitties now). He is smaller than average(6# instead of 8# like his brother). I really loved him. I don't know if they didn't have a picture of him & that's why he isn't listed, but I hope to God that he tested negative. Here's a picture I took of him when he was at home with me yet.


Then there is Little Damita who had ringworm. She isn't listed, either. That could be because she still has ringworm, though. Cats aren't adoptable if they have ringworm & I know she still had it as of 'testing day'.


I have got to admit, if only two of ten tested positive, that's pretty good. I was braced for all of them to test positive, just in case. I cried for them & said my good-byes before they got tested. There's still one more to get tested on the 24th, but that is because a person took in a stray & kept her in the bathroom, despite the fact that her cat has been FeLV + for a little over a year now.


This whole FeLV thing has made Damita & Chico's ringworm issues seem like a piece of cake. I have been so stressed over the surrenders exposed to FeLV for the past month. Hopefully, once I find out the fate of Kai & Lil Damita, I can finally get a good night's sleep.

Oh no, Kai was my most favorite little guy there! Lets hope that he is negative!
You'll have to keep us updated - I just love him, he looks so sweet! If I could adopt a new little guy - it would be him!

I'm raelly glad that the others were negative and posted on the HS site!

They are all just so beautiful! They just have to be ok, and be adopted soon! Being on the website will help a LOT in being adopted!

Everyone tested negative!!!!


Can you tell I am thrilled? Kai doesn't have a good picture from before & the no one has had a chance to take a pic of him. They are full of dogs & have more cats in cages than room for cages.
Guess what I'll be doing tomorrow morning? Lil Damita is now ringworm free & living with Soot again. They are both scaredy cats.

I had to stop in this morning to get Conofite for Damita & Chico. I ran out already. I got to pet everyone & hold everyone. I told them how proud I was that they were so healthy. No one looked at me like I was crazy because they all felt the same way.

I went out to the car & was so happy I wanted to scream. I waited until I got home(in the country) & was dancing around in the snow & yelling. Then I fell on my butt in the snow!
I was still so very happy!
