Kira Barnes commented on Sheri Tehan's group 19th Ward Community Cats

"I thought putting unstamped mail in someone's box was a federal violation, hence my thought of slipping it into her door. One way or another though, I do want to make sure she knows there are low cost options available."

"Alice - I'd love to see Laura's list of vets. That's awesome that she's done all that research."

"I've met Molly McGowan and Phyllis Walker and both are great people. (I met Phyllis through the Heart Walk, and Molly through a workshop she presented to our department.) I think contacting them would be a great idea."

"Bill, I hate to disagree with a vet, but FIV is not that easy to spread. It has to be a blood-to-blood transmission (although some sources say saliva-to-blood is a possible vector). This means that Pewter would have to bite your other cats with an…"

Pewter has been here going on a month. He's a real dear. I know the risks, especially biting. Your having told me about having an FIV positive cat with your others for nine years was very encouraging. I had Albert tested and he is FIV negative--this after he and Pewter associating with one another before Pewter became a permanent part of the family. Thanks again, Kira.

It took over a year to gain Pewter's trust. He stayed here all Tuesday night and is friends with Albert. (Princess just hisses at him--she's got diabetes and arthritis, so I don't know if she'd be more at risk.) Needless to say, I'm crazy about Pewter. Again, Kira, many thanks!
