I am a Cat Woman. My self-appointed mission in life is to save the feline world! To accomplish this mission, I get cats fixed. Perhaps my mission might be slightly delusional. This blog is a mishmash of wishful thinking, rants, experiences as I remember them and of course, cat stories and cat photos. I have a nonprofit now, to help keep the cats here cared for and to fix community cats. Happy Cat Club formed in 2015. Currently, we are on a mission to fix 10,000 cats.

Monster Male from Albany Homeless Camps
Monster Man, from the Albany Homeless Camps, probably weighs 15 pounds or more, missing most of right ear, from excessive fighting and being tested today, prior to his neuter, for FIV.
He likely will be positive and if so, he will be euthanized. I'm hoping he is not, because I have a place for him (his name is Boots), Jefferson, the orange male, and Claws, the black and white male, to go to, as an outside well fed, well housed home, if they are negative and neutered.
I don't have to test any other males if he is negative because this guy has fought every male over one years old out there. If he is negative, they're all negative. If he's positive, any male over two is going to be positive. Under two, and it'll be a maybe, maybe not.
I'm paying for his test, on a credit card. I am still waiting for the City of Albany to come through on the promised funds.

I think this is so wrong.
ReplyDeleteEven if positive for FIV, he's clearly healthy, and could remain so for a long while.
Why don't you take the likely-positives to Jefferson, and release him?

To Jefferson? Jefferson? I don't know any colonies in Jefferson or anyone who feeds in Jefferson. I only euthanize really sick FIV positive males. And I only test males I'm going to be placing, so people know and can watch out for them. If a cat is aggressive and released, not contained inside a house, that cat will spread the disease to other cats.
