Before we talk about Feline Leukemia Positive Cats and Why to Adopt Them Out, I want to give a big thank you to everyone who participated in the Annual Survey! I had some fantastic responses and it is clear that you all enjoy the podcast. We’ve also got some great suggestions! Thank you for taking the time to fill out the survey and big congratulations to Melissa for winning the Amazon gift card!
Feline Leukemia Positive Cats and Why to Adopt Them Out
Over the next couple of months I will be interviewing organizations that adopt out Feline Leukemia positive cats. This is an area, in general, that we have been very shy about being public in within sheltering. Many organizations quietly euthanize Felv+ cats and kittens and really don’t think of that as giving up on that cat.

So… you HAVE to take a peek at this GREAT story in the link about what the Tree House Humane Society has done for Felv’s!
Below is a short list of organizations that adopt out cats that are feline leukemia positive and have given a chance to those cats. I celebrate these organizations for taking a step forward and helping these cats! I plan to build this list, as I speak to more groups, so please feel free to let me know if there are more to add to the list! We will soon put it up in our resources page.
Austin Pets Alive! – TX
Dakin Humane Society – MA
Ralphie’s Retreat – ME
House of Dreams – OR
Have a super week everyone!
