  • 1.  FeLV and FIV handouts/info

    Posted 01-23-2024 09:11 AM

    Hello, I looked for this information on past threads but couldn't find anything.  

    We'd like to update our very old information for adopters and new staff about living with FeLV  and/or FIV cats.  Our shelter does adopt out these cats if they're healthy and can be adopted.  We have a disclosure and give the adopters information about taking care of these cats.  The area Veterinarians are of mixed opinions whether we should be placing these cats but we're trying to support our adopters with the latest information.  

    We also have a staff turnover and so we want some information in an easy-to-digest format to distribute to new employees.

    Does anyone have good resources for this kind of thing?  Thank you!

    I really like this infographic from Hermitage Cat Shelter & Sanctuary!
