| Keep it going! That's great news. I know you really miss the little
furballs, but at least now you don't have to worry about them as much.
Aren't all the babies fun? I hated seeing some many adding to the
overpopulation problem. But somehow when you twenty kittens swarming
all over you, it's hard not to love them.

| Carol:
What great news - you are doing a wonderful job. I know you'll miss
them - it's sort of bitter sweet - and then when you've got them all
taken care of you'l have all this time on your hands and nothing to
worry about and you'll be so bored!!!! hahaahahah!

| Gee Carol - Won't you get lonely ;^) Maybe you'll just
have to keep one or two (After they're neutered, of course) to
keep you and Scruffy company.
Good news.

| 4628.4 | I do miss them...but....... | BUFFER::WESTON | | Mon May 13 1991 10:03 | 15 |

Yea Nancy, I do miss them already...........but ;*}, it is a relief for
the old cat food bill is getting down. I belive we will try to keep
Pieces......male, goldie. We have to catch him to get neutered and
will bring him back as a buddy for Scruffy. Later this week or the
beginning of next week, we are planning on trying to catch two, the
sister and brother of the other two that just went in. Then Pieces
will be the only one left, that's trainable.
Then I'll have 3 males that I'll use the trap for.
Yes, it's a bit quiter around, but that's fine too!!!!!!!!

| 4628.5 | Possibly Feline Lukemia.....for one. | BUFFER::WESTON | | Fri May 17 1991 09:29 | 19 |

I have a little sad news on one of these fur-balls, Fuzz-Head, the grey
long-haired calico one has been tested positive for Feline Lukemia.
Priscilla, from the shelter told me she'll be tested again and that
will make it definite or not. I'm really hoping not. She's the most
beautiful kitty. Would make a lovely pet. I wonder if the others at
home might have it....
I know there's files in regards to this disease, but I'm not good at
doing the search. Could someone go over just a bit, on how it's
caught. Does the yearly shots PREVENT this?
I guess if she id definitely positive, she'll be in the area of the
shelter for this disease.
Can't help but feel bad.

| Felv is contagious via cat bites, shared water bowls, shared food,
shared litter areas, saliva, urine, etc. Fuzz-head could be positive
but never get sick enough to succumb to the disease, but she could
infect other cats.
The shots are not 100% effective against the disease, but they do
reduce the risk a bit.
To do a search on Felv, you can do a "show key/full felv" or a "show
key/full feline_leukemia". That should give you a list of notes that
are keyed to feline leukemia.

| 4628.7 | Information appreciated, but I'm worried.... | BUFFER::WESTON | | Tue May 21 1991 11:32 | 14 |

Thank you for this information, but now it has greatly concerned me
about my own Scruffy and the rest of the gang. They do share eating
bowls, I wash them as often as I can and the share a large bowl of
water.
It doesn't seem that there's anything I can do, till I catch them all.
It's back to catching next week, this week I'm straight-out.
Thank you, I just don't know what I can do.

| 4628.8 | Get Scruffy tested and vaccinated | WR2FOR::CORDESBRO_JO | set home/cat_max=infinity | Tue May 21 1991 13:42 | 7 |
| Carol,
It might be helpful to take Scruffy in and test him, then get him the
shots. It can't hurt. The shots may give him an extra measure of
protection, even if they aren't 100% protection against the disease.

| 4628.9 | She does have to get them... | BUFFER::WESTON | | Wed May 22 1991 12:41 | 19 |
|
.8 yes..............that's what needs to be done. I've been guilty of
not getting Scruffy since last fall to the vets. It's very hard on her
and I know that is an excuse for me. Next week we are going to try and
catch two more.
I've had several personal issues hang over us and now we are seeing the
light....
So after the next two are caught, I plan on taking Scruffy in for her
shots and she does not get pregnant, but she still gets amerous!! So I
plan on having them check to see if she was ever spayed (was a stray)
and if not, do what needs to be done, to take away the aroma that's
calling all the guys now. And her buddy Pieces to be neutered.
We're getting there............

| 4628.10 | ..Fuzz-Head/Patty very sick..... | BUFFER::WESTON | | Wed Jun 05 1991 13:03 | 35 |

HI...
Got some sad news in regards to Fuzz-Head, now know as Patty, at the
Pat Brody Animal Shelter.
She has been diagnosed as having Limphoma (sp?) Cancer. She was just
under the knife for a biopsy. The Limph-nodes around her neck had
swelled and Priscilla had noticed that.
It will be determined if it's treatable, and if so, she will have kemo.
If not, she will be put down......
Out of all the strays so far, she's the most beautiful one. Real
loving, if she had had the chance, but with FLV possibly and this, she
hasn't been able to be loose.
The cost to the shelter is hard on them, but sometime this month I'm
loosing my assignment here, and it's almost a year that I've been
looking for a permanent job.
I'm not one for asking and I do have a donator already, but if anyone
could please help the shelter somemore I just want to mention what
Priscilla and her helpers do. They do so much to give all these guys a
chance to live. She has tons of even "new" kittens just recently
rescued. Almost to a point, where there is no room, at the in. She
knows that I will and continue to do, what I can.
I'm very sad for Patty and if she can be saved that will be wonderful.
But I would not want her to suffer one day. I lost my Dad recently
through Cancer and I would not want the suffering I saw upon any human
or animal.

| Carol,
I am sorry to hear that Patty has Lymphoma. I lost my Moody to that
back in November. But, his might have been different, since he was not
Felv positive. I hope that the chemo can work for her.

| This is a good place to post this reminder. It was requested
that the Pat Brody shelter receive the Silver Lining Memorial
again this quarter.
Well, its June and I'll be getting the donations together soon
so PLEASE if you're going to send a donation do it soon. If
you need the address - its my home address not the PO box -
its in note 2228 or send me Email.
With Patty being sick, I'm sure they could use the donation soon.
