I got my two cats from my Michigan vet for a donation. The cats were still kittens and the vet gave them both a clean bill of health and all of their shots. I later paid to have them fixed.

Last week, I found a beautiful grey and white kitten in our yard. I knew I couldn't keep her as I didn't want to travel with three cats back and forth to Florida. I took her to my vet to see if she had a microchip but unfortunately I didn't have the kitten checked out. A friend took the kitten for her kids -- particularly her 7 year old daughter! Yesterday, I got a text from my friend. She took the kitten to our vet to be checked out. That beautiful kitten had ear mites, a sinus infection and feline leukemia! The vet said they had no other choice than to put the kitten down. I am heartbroken for the kitten but especally for my friend's daughter!

I really regret not having the vet check out that kitten last week. The kitten didn't show any signs of beig ill. It was friendly and beautiful. My 2 cats weren't around the kitten much but I had them tested today for feline luekemia. So far, so good!
