Also attached is a two page report from IDEXX for the now deceased Lola. 

I would like to encourage the sharing of tests results for cats showing parasites, infections, or diseases that are diagnosed in the specific types of conditions listed above and any other results from these tests, even if info is blacked out, that show these results in other areas particularly in the United States.  This information should be available to everyone but particularly to community cat caretakers in areas that have many undiagnosed deaths.

These are two pages of results from a REALPCR test from an incontinent MANX born on land that is near now closed phosphate mines. She lived on land with a bad well that tests high for arsenic and high for nitrates. My county has 12 Gypsum stacks and has had several lawsuits started against developers for building on allegedly toxic and/or radioactive land.

I was told by a representative of the State of Florida those numbers often go up and down.

Lola was treated by a good Vet, but because of her habit of licking her paws and dipping them in her drinking water and her fecal incontinence she could not beat the problems she was  presented with.  She died last year.  Lola has a brother, her profile in part fit him and after treatment for hookworms he turned around nicely. Unfortunately, Lola's brother is the last of a colony of cats that lived off a highway from 2018-2021. He can't go out again here because of both two and four footed predators, lots of gunshot.

After the first of the Colony died, I had just moved to this location, I called Julie, the Vet associated with Maddie's to get the price of a necropsy. After I moved into this area I found out that nobody drinks water from the wells, not ever the water that is filtered. My own RO filter was provided by the State of Florida after repeat testing showed high nitrates. It presently testing over the limits for nitrates again, but my landlord is hiding the results, as I just tested for blood that has autoimmunites. 

This is my second time in this county with a situation where waste and run off with pesticides is seeping into households or water.  The first was a house I owned, the situation was so bad I walked away from it.  

I saw the way that children's lives were changed by this. It is much hard to find a pattern in pets where they are not tested and nobody considers the environmental conditions of the pet. I believe that a comparison of tests from these areas could benefit humans as well as cats.
