Just from reading about Shadow on this ng, I feel like I know this cat! The
article is great, I love that someone has taken the time to put together
these stories. I'm feeling very conflicted about the shelter where I
volunteer. They cannot take in FeLV and FIV cats. When we get one in, we
try to place it with another shelter that does, but if they are full, we put
the cat down. I just thought that's the way things work before I started
reading about FeLV and FIV, mostly from this ng. The shelter does not have
any space where they can keep positive cats segregated from the general
population, and we barely have enough foster volunteers for the rest of the
cats.
I'm going to print out these stories and take them in. The shelter will be
relocating in the next two years. Maybe the new shelter can include space
for FeLV and FIV cats.

Cheryl, excellent article. Really shows how much you love Shadow. I'm sure
other people would already have taken the easy way out and have had Shadow
put down. God bless you.

I'd mentioned to someone that Shadow might be featured in a
collection of articles about FeLV+ kitties. Well, it was posted. I'm
soooo not a writer, but the site owner, Tina, did a nice job putting
together some of my emails into a story about the miracle that is
Shadow.

Go Shadow!!
