Help us save 101 cats affected by virus

December 1st, 2009

The spread of virulent systemic feline calicivirus (VS-FCV) has slowed at the Humane Society of Indianapolis (HSI), and the effects of the mutated virus, whose common strain is vaccinated for at the shelter, have lessened in intensity within the past day. We hope to save our remaining 114 cats after euthanizing 65 who suffered symptoms of the disease within the past 10 days. Three cats who were not exposed to the mutant strain of VS-FCV are in foster care and available for adoption, and we're seeking supply donations to help the others through the two- to six-week quarantine period. If you'd like to help us save our 100+ remaining cats and make them comfortable during the quarantine period, please donate any of the following to our shelter, located at 7929 Michigan Rd.

can openers & canned tuna, paper towels, bleach, vaporizers (to add moisture to the air), bleach disinfecting wipes, green scour pads, garbage bags (56 gallon and tall kitchen), disposable latex gloves (surgical style), disposable restaurant style gloves (thin clear plastic), disposable shoe covers, medical scrubs, old bath towels and sheets, canned cat food, litter, cat scratchers, cat toys
