OHHH! I thought you were thinking his cat was FeLV+. I assumed FeLV
because of his "Stray w. +Leukemia Flyer", "stray with +leukemia" and "Urgent: Leukemia positive stray--have to make a quick decision" posts. Laura Oh, sorry, I was too lazy to go back and look at his previous posts. I remembered him writing them but I didn't remember if it was FIV or FeLV. Apparently, it was FeLV then. So....OP...sorry...forget I mentioned it. I was talking about FIV. But I agree with what Laura said...I would let him have free rein of the room anyway. Everything I have read about FeLV indicates that it takes prolonged contact with a positive cat to contract it...like sharing food bowls, litterboxes, etc. over a long period...not just being in the same house with the no direct contact. I certainly hope you are able to place Big Boy with a FeLV+ home or shelter.

No, the cat is definitely *Feline Leukemia* positive, not FIV+. She has
posted about him several times. Megan Oh, okay, I was confused. Sorry, OP. Candace (take the litter out before replying by e-mail) See my cats: http://photos.yahoo.com/maccandace "One does not meet oneself until one catches the reflection from an eye other than human." (Loren Eisely) |

Sorry for confusion--when I looked at how I typed it, I could see the
problem. I am still looking for a place. There is a shelter in Michigan that would take him (Cat Tails Farm (formerly Gaia Sanctuary)-south of Lansing. I'm in NY & that's a long way for the little guy,Big Boy. to travel. I'm going day to day with him; he really doesn't like all the confinement but I have to think about my other guys as well..... "Chris" wrote in message ink.net... I am currently looking for home for FelV+ stray, Big Boy, (about which I posted before). I have other cats who cannot be exposed to him so he is isolated. I get very conflicting info about one thing: I would be able to let him loose in my bedroom (instead of the attached bath & large dog kennel I bring him out into the bedroom with) but have been told that after he left I would have to quarantine that room for 30-60 days no matter how well I cleaned it... Does anyone have thoughts on this or previous experiences. |

You are all so very nice!!!!! As much as I want him in a forever home--I'm
so nervous about sending him so far to a place I haven't seen... Do you know anyone who ever worked with them or lives near Lansing Michigan & might want to visit??? I have looked at flying with him in cabin but worry about security making me take him out of carrier which I know I wouldn't be able to do without him becoming totally freaked (he won't come out of carrier for anything at the vett!) Do you know the name of the pet transport company--was it by air (I worry about putting animals in cargo holds!) "Chris" wrote in message ink.net...
