Re: stupid question but i need to know


The RSPCA do a lot of good, but certainly good as good as their 'sob story' adverts portray. I have lots of issues with them. I much prefer Cats Protection. Thankfully the animal shelter that I volunteer for have a 'no destruct' policy unless the animal needs to be pts as advised by a vet.

Poor little kitty. So sad to think he was suffering and in terrible pain for days only to get rescued and think things would get better. The RSPCA should not of put him to sleep. Tis so sad.

Re: stupid question but i need to know


I don't know. Given his immune system was compromised and his leg had been wounded for a long time, I would be surprised if he didn't have an infection or potentially septicemia (blood poisoning).

He certainly looks like an amazingly healthy cat given the circumstances in which he was found

Re: stupid question but i need to know


Don't get me started...................


But I will just say there's no excuse to euthanase an FIV positive cat. It basically means his immunity is not good. That's all. I did some research into Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) recently when I had a positive one!
Who I rehomed not eauthanased.

Re: stupid question but i need to know


King Oscar, people who are REALLY stupid don't know it & don.t care!! No one, no matter how well-read and well educated can know everything but they recognize that they need to ask someone or look it up ..and that's what education & learning is all about!! (Whoo hoo, I'm on my soapbox again!!)
