Raina, not knowing the relationship between you and your vet, or how long you have been using her services......I would say simply: find a new vet.
Many of us here have trapped, rescued, 'dometicated' feral cats....it only takes patience, comittment and a whole lot of love. To say something like your vet said to you is borderline deplorable. Feral cats deserve the same care and consideration as domestic cats, and you are an angel for having rescued your two.
Strays, shelter kitties, third party kitties given away, pet store kitties......each and every one of them is susceptible to disease factors, just as with any other kitty. Sometimes I could just scream at people for giving the feral a bad rap, a bad name
So, with that, follow your heart, your conscience and of course, your instincts. You'll be much happier with a vet who views all pets as precious, and will not choose to discourage you in your choices!
- I think with a URI but I know you never can be sure until a vet sees.. and I just applied at an animal rescue shelter that does low cost spay/neuter and vaccinations for low income families.) and she wouldn't even give me the price once she learned that they both used to be strays. She said that I should give them away immediately because strays carry all kinds of diseases like rabies (I've had my two for 9 or 10 months now, and I love them very much and would NEVER do this.) and she went on about how they're feral and feral cats never end up making good pets. I disagreed with all of this. What if you wanted to rescue one of these poor cats and give them a good home? And as for feral, my kitten Muffin is a sweetheart and has never been wild acting in the least, and my cat Princess used to be slightly skittish acting, but now she's friendly and completely tame. And I already knew that strays could carry diseases. I decided to take her elsewhere because of this. Is it me, or would this have made anyone else think twice?
