I have been reading these threads for a little bit now and found them interesting but now I am in need of some assistance, so I thought I'd give it a try. I have 14 cats, who were all strays, and recently took in another but this last one tested positive FIV. My vet says I should put him to sleep since he is contagious to my other cats but I haven't had the heart to do it. He is about a year and a half old, black, male, very friendly, loves to cuddle and purrs quite loudly. He trusts me so completely that I want to do the best for him and I hope that doesn't mean killing him. I contacted some no-kill shelters but they won't take him in. He is currently living in a separate bedroom and I visit him for a couple hours each night aafter work but then I feel I am neglecting my other cats.
I did find one place that would take him but they keep their cats in cages and I can't imagine him living his life out in a cage.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to handle this situation? or have any contacts with a place or person that would take him in?
Thanks,
