Post by: RACR on March 10, 2010, 19:37:55 PM: Hi all, sorry to hijack thread but was wondering also if there is any FIV friendly rescues who can help.

I have been contacted by a rescue down south who have over 50 cats in now and due another 70 in. Most are ferral but there are some tame ones (8) I have offered if I can with the tame ones as I dont have fosterers for ferrals. However the rescue has come back saying nearly all the ones tested so far are FIV+ and 2 more to test. We dont take in FIV= cats as we cant find fosterers for them so was wondering if anyone knows of a rescue that could help that specialise with cats with FIV and the care they need?

Rhodes Minnis Cat Sanctuary, near Folkestone in Kent has an FIV section as well as a feral colony living a wonderful life in a large enclosed area which is like a tennis court but with enrichment.

I just looked at the FIV info and they have taken in cats from London & Oxford. I guess it is a matter of space - worth a call though.

The other one to try is Foal Farm - Also in Kent http://www.foalfarm.org.uk/

Also might be worth speaking to CP HQ in Sussex.

Isnt there someone on here who takes in FIV's, cant remember if they foster for a rescue and who they are now?

Post by: moira on March 11, 2010, 09:47:30 AM: I long term foster FIVs for Catworks in Somerset and for the Moggery in Bristol and have a number of my own. Unfortunately, as Gill says, I am not able to take in any more at the moment. It might be worth cross posting on Catchat. Would you like me to do that for you Andrea?
