Thanks so much for the advice and the encouragement. I forgot to mention that the kittens are 14 weeks old. Today I found out that the tomcat tested positive for FELV. We are trying to find a place for him. I hope it will work out. The vet convinced me we could find a place, so I agreed to go ahead with the neutering tomorrow. I hope she is right. She is always such an optimist about placing cats, but the truth is, it is very hard.

Now I am worried that my 2 darling kittens may be positive even though the FELV test is negative, since I am pretty sure the tomcat is their father. I emailed Alley Cat Allies and they said it is unlikely at 14 weeks of age. I am also concerned about Gracie and Voodoo, who are not vaccinated because they are indoor cats. I always wash my hands after I visit the trailer kitties. I hope that is sufficient.

Worries, worries... the good news is that the "powers that be" at my university have given us more time to trap the cats before they fumigate and board up the trailer under which the cats were living. They have been fairly understanding, all things considered.

Thanks for listening.
