OK, I know I am stressed and unusually cranky lately, but I am about to lose it. This gorgeous FIV+ cat is headed to a feral colony Sunday. The woman who has Bingo has made her live in a crate for G-d knows how long and is convinced that a "managed" feral colony her friend feeds is a reasonable solution for this cat. Um, gee, despite the fact that if she has to fight to defend herself she will pass FIV on to another cat and the fact that she herself might become symptomatic from the stress of living on the street, I guess there are some good features of life in a feral colony which are escaping me. Is there anyone who can help this cat? I have a soft spot for FIV+ cats, but my life situation won't permit me to take her. Anyone? Please pass this on. Sunday is it for Bingo, and it is just irresponsible to other cats to put her out there. Bingo is dog-friendly.

Importance: High
FIV in cats is such a non-event. I have three FIV+ cats, and if you saw them, you would think one could be on the cover of Cat Fancy, and the other two are big, strapping boys. The last FIV+ cat I had lived for years and years and died of a totally unrelated issue. Bingo will make someone a great family member, but the trick is, Earline needs to find that someone. Because her neighbor is convinced Bingo would love living in a feral colony. Yikes! Can you help Bingo? And just in case you love the FIV+ kitties, I have an orange, declawed girl in a vet clinic in Dallas who is on thin ice. I could get you a two-fer!!Contact Earline on Bingo, and please pass this on! efgtexas@yahoo.com

Subject: Bingo (FIV+) needs a home-can you help us?
Here's the info on Bingo. She is about a year old (picture attached), has been spayed and had all shots. My neighbor found her, and paid for all vet services, but she has four cats and can't keep her. Bingo is fine with dogs, but since she's FIV positive she'll need to be an inside cat. If we don't find a home for Bingo soon, my neighbor will be taking her to a shelter - and we all know what that means. Thank you!
