Felv Without Fear
Too often, routine euthanization is the prescription for cats with the Feline Leukemia Virus. That’s changing and so are the stereotypes that FeLV-positive cats are undesirable, expensive to care for and un-adoptable. We’ll explode the myths and misconceptions and explain how to give these often overlooked cats the quality of life and loving homes they deserve. Presented by veteran news journalist Steve Okino, this program was part of the American Pets Alive! 2015 No-Kill Conference.
