River nom noms?     Purred: Thu Sep 13, '12 11:38am PST  That's my standard response to anyone with an FIV question so everyone knows how harmless the disease is! The article on Alex's webage has lots of really good tips and hints for FIV kitty owners, but in the long run, an FIV positive kitty might not require anything special, it's hard to say. It's really a very overblown disease in most cases. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become friends [notify]

River nom noms?     Purred: Thu Sep 13, '12 11:35am PST  Or... check out the RIVER CAT himself! Hi there!!! HI angel Alex! I'm FIV positive and have been for at least the 4 years my parents have had me! I'm somewhere between 8 and 10 years old and I likely got FIV when I was attacked on the streets after being abandoned, however, you'd never know. I'm a love bug whose full of energy and life. I'm so full of life and love, my family and even my vet often forget that I'm FIV positive because you'd never know that I was 'sick' to look at me. I even have a super beautiful Siamese sister who I live with and am bonded with. I play with her, wrestle with her, share the same food bowl, water fountains, and litter box, not to mention toys and beds, and she's still FIV Negative! Definitely check out my story on Alex's webpage, my mommy wrote that about me cause I'm super duper special! After reading it, if you have ANY questions whatsoever, post them here, send me a message, I'm happy to help out. FIV is NOT a killer disease. It can stay dormant for years and many cats never even develop signs of the disease and live long happy lives eventually crossing over the bridge for completely unrelated reasons. It isn't an airborne disease, like so many people fear, and it is really hard to pass between cats. The only way to pass it is through deep fluid transfers (like with HIV in humans) such as a deep bite wound or sexual contact. If you've been fixed and are well behaved, no problem. Heck, we use to foster kitties in this house and none of them ever got my FIV either, it's just that hard. I promise, FIV is NOT a death sentence and you'll probably never even notice you've got it! Lots of vets are sadly misinformed about the disease so you'll have to make sure you have a good one who understands it, but really, an FIV cat is just like any other cat! I can introduce you to a whole pack of FIVers living normal lives in big families, you'd never be able to pick out the 'sick' one in a family portrait! my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become friends [notify]

Plus Power of the Paw > Ingen is missing! POTP needed

River nom noms?     Purred: Sun Oct 2, '11 12:23pm PST  No problem! We haven't gathered funds yet so we won't start unless you need it. We do have 70$ pledged though in case you do need it. We just want Ingen to get home soon and safe! my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become friends [notify]

River nom noms?     Purred: Sat Oct 1, '11 6:06pm PST  I agree! Spooky is my new hero! We sent a friend request this morning! I definitely think this is Ingen's best chance. I've got my River paws crossed something fierce for this. This is a truly great community of generous loving people! Our pledge drive has all ready heard from a few people, if you want to contribute just send us a message! Every little bit helps. The money will either be used as a reward or to help get Ingen home if we need it! If not, we won't be collecting it. Thank you to all you kitties out there who are pledging to help out and to all you wonderful kitties and families working yourself to the bone to help find Ingen and get her home no matter where you live. This makes my little River heart so full of hope and love. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become friends [notify]

Plus Power of the Paw > Ingen is missing! POTP needed

River nom noms?     Purred: Sat Oct 1, '11 4:50pm PST  Hi kitties! Mommy is home right now. This is what she thinks is best to do right now. She agrees that collecting money isn't the best thing to do right now, but she would like to organize a reward pledge drive in case we need it, that way, she can collect it fast if needs be. So this is what she'd like to do. If you want to pledge money in case a reward is needed, you can post here or send mommy and me a private message with the amount and your contact information. We'll do paypal or collecting money later if we have to, but this way, we can have an idea of what the reward would be. Any amount you want to pledge would be fine, 50 cents or 50 dollars, every bit helps. If we don't need the reward, we'll never collect the money, or the money pledged could be used to help get Ingen home if that's the case and if everyone is ok with that. How does that sound to every one? This way mommy will keep a running total of the amount and the people giving in case we need it, we can pull it together fast, if we don't because Ingen is found and returned home tonight, then we don't have to worry about returning the money or anything. Does that work with every fur? We are starting the ball off with a 10$ pledge. If you want to join in, post or send us a message! my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become friends [notify]

River nom noms?     Purred: Sat Oct 1, '11 2:37pm PST  Mommy is going out right now for a little while. We don't want to collect money just yet in case it isn't needed. If Ingen is found the person might not want the reward or she might be found before we get it together. Mommy will put more thought into this later tonight when she comes home. If someone else takes over this idea while we are gone, we won't be upset just so you know! (just in case you don't want to wait for my mommy to get home!) my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become friends [notify]

River nom noms?     Purred: Sat Oct 1, '11 2:11pm PST  What if we put together a little reward to have with the flyer too? Money helps catch peoples attention. We'd be willing to chip in 10-20$ if some other catsters would too we could get a nice sum to put on that might help inspire people to go out and look. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become friends [notify]

River nom noms?     Purred: Sat Oct 1, '11 1:11pm PST  Oh that's right! Madison has a big university there with a big history dept... let mommy see if any of her colleagues went there and know anyone in the area who could help. She'll email a few history friends and ask. I think someone she went to grad school now goes there for their PHD. Let me have her check around. Still purring like crazy for Ingen. Have all the rescue animal groups in the area been contacted? Most cities have lots of them. Couldn't hurt to contact the ones for dogs either because they might know someone who could help. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become friends [notify]
