Believe me, I put his health and the health of my other cats way before what I feel and want, and I don't appreciate you assuming that I do.
I have looked at the opportunity of giving him away to a shelter with allready infected cats...this is harder than you think. Shelters are allready full and don't easily take infected cats.
Why do I want to keep him so badly? Because he deserves the same love, attention, affection and care that any of my cats do. I'm not going to give him away to somebody else so that they can worry about it.
He's allready been abandoned once.
Why does everybody so easily give away a cat with a disease? What ever happened to caring for it yourself?

You have made your mind up, so there is no reason in discussing this further.

You are being selfish in (currently) keeping this cat outside to infect other strays and you will continue to be selfish when you bring him inside, to imprisioned him in one room for the rest of his natural life, this is very cruel.

You don't even want to TRY to find a more suitable place for him because YOU want him. You are fulfilling your own selfish desires instead of looking at what is best for the cat.

I pray that Mr Raggs has a reasonable life, isolated on his own in a spare room for the rest of his life. May he not suffer from lack of company and lack of space. I hope Mr Raggs life is as painless and happy as it can be, poor kitty.

I also pray that your cats never manage to slip into Mr Raggs room and become infected.

You idea of LOVE and CARE are new definations, I haven't previously heard of before

Before people diss me for being too angry. Just take a minute to think about this poor kitty living his entire life in one room with no company apart from when the 'owners' (or should that be 'jailers' visit him.)

PS. If you think about the situation without the 'I want' reasons to keep him and decide to rehome him. I would like to help towards the cost needed to transport him to a new FIV inside home or shelter.
