Barbara..now you see me, now you don't

Oooh..this is Barbara..a stray teen that got spayed last week. I had arranged for Rosemary(feral feeder) to foster her until I find her a home, or one of mine gets adopted out and I can take her, but she_according to neighbors_went with some kids in their house. I keep patroling in case I see her again, she's such a nice kitty, does deserve a good forever
place.

I thought you'd appreciate a photo of Jon putting Tigger back in her cage at the vet;)..no, really Tigger is a friendly 'feral' my neighbors have in their colony. We got her spayed and yesterday at PU time I planned on taking a photo of her for my records, she lasted a few seconds almost saying cheese in Jon's arms, then it was freakout time so as he was putting her back in cage I got that(that I didn't realize I had). She was very scared but is not feral. I don't like to return them to colony when they are friendly but at least she's spayed now.

Oh no..

Riding home saw a young cat dead against the curb. And it was raining. Seeing ran over animals always makes me sad but when their bodies are exposed to the elements it seems worse, like if her death didn't matter to the world. RIP little black cat.

Herpes

(back to Special Needs) So we have seven fosters now, of which three are special needs; that is health needs. The Macros (Ramon, Philou and Fiorella) are FHV+ meaning they have the herpes virus. Feline herpes attacks the respiratory system. And they could have tongue, lips and mouth ulcers. It is chronic but quite bearable both for cat and owner.
They can only be adopted into a household that already has kitties with herpes or no other cats.
Considering that two siblings must be adopted together the Macros can be the answer to your prayers. When they were weeks old up to about two months they did have herpes symptoms; watery eyes, sneezing, congestion. Ramon had it the worst, Philou not so congested but had a nose ulcer and Fio didn't have one single symptom. Our vet told us she'd be the carrier, she still is fine and if nobody knew she comes from a litter with herpes, nobody could tell. Same for Philou, though he does have a scarred nostril.
Ramon's nose gets congested sometimes and his eyes tear but it is minimal.
They are fed good food, kept clean and I do add L-Lysine to their food wich helps. In photo Ramon looking lopsided.

Special Needs

As you can see from my adoption list, some are special needs. These kitties require more time, more vets followups and other than 'super healthy' cats but not all are like that.

Because there are cats that have chronic diseases, those are not given_by shelters, rescuers and some vets_the respect they should have. And care. Many consider them 'unadoptable', if the cat is in a open-police shelter it is likely it'll be euthanized. And if in an no-kill or foster home, it'll be ages before she's adopted, I do know of a no-kill where cats have lived out their lives there because nobody wanted them. And their lives were much longer than a few years.

Anything in caps with the positive sign at the end scares the public. And then there are other conditions and handicaps that can be deterrents. The key is in educating the adopter and encouraging her to research a particular problem. (continued on next post)
