Not enough time with Mr. Biggs (FeLV)


by: Jas on Fri, Apr 27 2007

I walked into the animal shelter to get a kitten and saw Mr. Biggs!! He is the most beautiful cat I’ve ever seen. I have 5 cats as it is and he makes six. As a good pet owner I made an appointment for him today for his neuter and rab. We’ve only had him 2 weeks (earliest appointment I could get) and its been WAY too short of a time. He didn’t seem to have anything wrong with him. Same laid back attitude, still cuddly, and eating ( like a horse), and pottying just fine. This is a total shock!!!!!! I’m now worried that the two 8 week old kittens I have and the 2 year old cats that I have might have the virus also. The two 1 year old cats had an appointment today also at 3 PM and I’m just a wreck. All have seperate food bowls and litter boxes but I’m still not sure. Mr. Biggs is my hubby’s cat. Zoey my 14 yr old cat I’m not worried about. The only problem is the other 4 are the kids cats. Which makes this even harder. Getting all our cats from a shelter we expected things like fleas, and maybe attitude problems, but not this as much. The fleas have been annoying little buggers but we’ve almost gotten them all. This is really hard. Mother-in-law swears its our own fault for having so many cats.

    …that my partner’s cat has FeLV and is not doing well. He is not eating at all and we think it’s just a matter of a few days. Our question is, whether to let him die peacefully at home or putting him to sleep. [more..]

    I lost two of my babies to the distructive nature of feline leukemia. My partner and I had no idea that this existed until we took our Angel to the vet as she was not eating properly and seemed very down and quiet. [more..]
