Mousie's Story

Mousie’s mother decided to find a warm and dry place for her new family and moved into a garden shed. What she didn’t consider were the two big dogs that also lived there. The dogs got one of her kittens, but the mother and the other two kittens were rescued

Mousie is Fiv positive and has a bad mouth disease. Depomedrol shots have so far helped her greatly. Our experience has been that cats with FeLeuk and Fiv can live a productive life for 6 to 10 years, as long they are watched closely and treated when necessary. We don’t agree that they should be euthanized as soon as diagnosed, as so many veterinarians( not ours) suggest. However they have to be isolated from other healthy cats, because both diseases are very contagious. If you do have a cat that gets diagnosed as positive for one of these diseases, please do not let them be around any other cat.
