Can anyone help find a home for 2 FeLV+ babies?

Jen,Iwish that I could help,but those Two Absolutely Breath Taking Bundles of Joy will probably have to go to a home,on thier own.
They are so adorable that I wish that I could take them in.

That's ashame they have that.Sometimes it's better to put them down before they suffer too much.I know they look healthy now though so it makes it even harder.It's your call on that one.I hate to see them in cages or outside alone to defend themselves against weather,preditors or starvation or just getting sick.

I tend to agree with this. And if I was personally responsible for catching a leukemia positive cat, that might just be the decision I would make. But 1by1 is NO-kill, and once a cat is deemed a 1by1 cat, it won't be euthanized while still healthy.

I have not heard if they found a place to go yet. :(

Oh Jen, that is so sad! :( They are adorable and would be perfect company to an older person living alone, who could take the time to care for them. I hope they'll find the right home!

Jen, There are a number of groups on Yahoo that are devoted to finding homes for FeLV cats. I have actually lucked out with the several I've trapped that were +. Isaac was one gorgeous lynx-point meezer that tested + but was adopted by a wonderful couple. I posted a wonderful tribute they sent when Isaac went to the R.B

Luck was with me when a few weeks later I rescued another + sweetheart Annabelle. I contacted Isaac's people, and they were willing to take on another knowing how hard it is to find homes for FeLV kitties. :)

Spread the word, and join all the Yahoo Groups devoted to FeLV /FIV, special needs etc. and chances are good a home will come through. ;)
