I explained to Oreo's rescuer about his illness and she agreed that euthanasia was kinder than letting him roam, but as luck would have it, a place that accepts FeLV+ cats will be taking him, so no on needs to make that final decision.

But for OTHER people who find themselves in this situation, what would YOU do? Kill a cat that shows no sign of illness just because it can't be returned to the wild? Or return it to live out its life like it would have if no one intervened? There will not always be a place for every positive cat to go to live a comfortable life....HELL, there aren't enough places for the HEALTHY cats to go have a comfortable life.
