    I received a flyer from the MSPCA yesterday and thought I
    would print its Cruelty Hotline number - 1-800-628-5808.

    re:  .13
    
    You can probably order from these catalogs - most of the catalogs
    (general, not just cat catalogs) I have read (and that is quite a few)
    state that they will ship out of the country, although for a little
    extra money.
    
    Write to them and see if they will at least send you their catalog.
     If they do that, then they will probably send you an order.
    
                                    

    The Northeast Animal Shelter was a monumental help in 
    helping me find a home for my Leukemic cat.
    
    They actually have a list of people looking to adopt
    FELV positive cats.
    
    Their address is:
    
                       204 Highland Ave.
                       Salem, MA
                       617-745-9888           ask for Karen
    
               (The list is only about 10 names long, 
                 but I got lucky on my second try!)

    GOODLUCK!!!

           As some of you know I'm still searching for Pretty Boy :^(.
    I refuse to give up even though it's been over 2 months and no sign
    of him yet.  I stumbled upon a number in the Catmopolitan I had
    at home.  I've looked thru before and it just didn't catch my eye
    I guess.  I believe the name of the ageny is Pet Finder so I figured
    I'd wait till I called before filling people in.  The woman was
    ultra ultra nice and informed me that they have been doing this
    since 1976.  She explained basically to me the way they work.  They
    take down all your info on your lost pet and put it in the computer
    data bank.  She said they get about 50 calls daily but alot of them
    are people calling on found pets.  They feed this also in and once
    your info is in they run a match.  If they have a match they call
    you right away if not your file will stay in there for at least
    6 months.  Also the computer prints out a lost report that is mailed
    to all humane societies, shelters, and animal rescue leagues within
    a 60 mile radius of the area you give.  The only drawback with this
    is pounds are not included :^(.  They also advertise in 18 nationwide
    papers for lost and founds.  The lifetime membership fee is $49
    and is tax deductible because of being a non profit organization.
    I personally think that if this is as worthwile as it seems that
    the local humane societies should have this number posted somewhere
    or give it out to people when they have a lost animal or found.
    Well I'll see how it works....  Nothing can hurt at this point.
    
                 The number is 1-800-666-LOST.

    Hi Jo,
    
    I am on the phone with Blue Seal now -  their main number is:
    
    508-686-4131  Dr. Marvin Colburn
    
    They are checking with the switchboard to see if there is an 800
    number you can call from your area.
    
    The 800 number only goes as far as Western NY and PA - sorry, I
    guess you will have to use their main number.
    
    Dr. Colburn is getting the name of the closest dealer to you, which
    would be in Ohio - they maybe could ship it to you if you wanted
    to do that.  He is going to call me back ...

    I couldn't find the note where we were talking about catalog companies,
    but came across the address and phone number for Biologics Plus.
    
    They have very good prices on vaccines, but they are in California
    so one must take the shipping time into consideration.  If I remember
    correctly, they don't charge a shipping fee if your order is over
    a certain amount ($50?).

    but if you buy three or more it drops to $10.19 (a tank is ten doses).
    The expiration dates on these are January 92.        
    
    They also have the new KILLED whole virus Felv vaccine from Fort

    For those of you who are interested in that flea product that I
    have been talking about (DeFlea), I finally have an address and
    phone number.  
    
    My distributor in my area is Karen Johnson, 5969 Sorrel Avenue,
    San Jose, CA 95123.  Her number is (408)365-8673.  She can probably
    direct you to a distributor in your area.

    Thanks Jo.
    
    The battle against the fleas still goes on...we gave the six cats
    Fleas baths again this weekend.  I'm going to try this De Flea....
    
    Sandy

    We've got fleas too with 15 cats!  I've just started the battle.
    sigh..........   BTW - all the kittens will be thoroughly
    de-flea'd before sale.

    I went to the lecture last night and it was VERY interesting and
    helpful.  Much of what they spoke about was directed at dogs, but
    alot was equally applicable to cats.
    
    I did want to enter the following phone number.  It is open to
    vets and laypersons alike.  There is a $25 charge to call the
    number tho so try your vet first.

    If I get a chance, I'll type up my notes and enter them here.

    veterinary toxicologists.  There are two phone numbers:
    
    	900-680-0000 ($2.75/min., 10 min. average)
    	800-548-2423 ($25/case, credit-card only)
    
    With either access, the NAPCC does as many follow-up calls as necessary
    in critical cases, and will consult with your vet (if you request).
    
    If an animal has been poisoned, call the 900 number. You need to have
    the following information:
    
    	-Your name, address & phone number
    	-Species, breed, age, sex, weight, and number of animals involved
    	-The poison your animal(s) has(have) been exposed to, if known
    	-Information concerning the poisoning (amount, time since exposure,
    etc.)
    	-Problems your animal(s) is(are) experiencing
    
    To get more information about the center's various services, contact:

    I have a list of all household plants, with the clinical signs of
    toxicity for each.  It is important to know that some non-toxic plants
    can become toxic in animals.
    
    Hope this helps.  
    
    Purrs to all!
    

    Does anyone know if the address published in the this note in
    1987 for Haddeleigh House is still correct.
    
    I think it is note 5 or 6.
    
    My daughter wants to order one of their hammocks on the wire
    frame. (She bought the cheapie and her cats love it, I bought
    the PVC pipe hammock and no one in my house uses it. sigh)
    The hammock Holly bought is on a heavy wire type frame and
    has artificial like lambs wool on it.
    
    Thanks for your help.
