November 2020 Newsletter November SEASONS GREETINGS FROM TEN LIVES CLUB! 2020 Dear Friends of Ten Lives Club, Throughout this whirlwind of a year, you made amazing things happen. You made sure that over 2,000 cats, who had nowhere else to go, got the chance at life that they deserved. It is said that cats have “nine lives”. Ten Lives Club makes sure they have ten lives…their forever and final home when they leave our shelter. Whether entering our program through a hoarding case or brought to us because their families could no longer care for them, you made sure these cats had somewhere they could turn to. When most other shelters closed during the pandemic we stayed open to help and you made that possible. When we had to cancel most annual fundraising events, you stepped up financially to help. Without you, cats would not be able to receive the extra time and resources they need to learn to trust again. Thanks to you, cats who were left abandoned and starving received immediate care. Cats that were sick were healed with the proper attention and medical treatments. Innocent animals on death-row at kill-shelters were gladly taken in. Kittens just days old received individual care in foster homes. You make our mission and work possible. Your support ensures that we can provide the very best care for each cat who is brought to our shelter. You save lives. You, our community, are the reason our organization is so successful and has grown to be the unbelievable shelter we have become over the almost twenty years in existence. You believed in us and we certainly did not disappoint! As the year comes to an end, we are very grateful for the help and support we received during the Covid-19 crisis so we could continue with our lifesaving work. Things have really changed and we are slowly adapting to the new normal. We thank you for all. From our shelter to your home…We wish you and those you hold dear a happy holiday and a joyous new year!

Thankfully, a nearby resident knew the three cats had been kicked outside and were able to safely bring them to our shelter. Once she arrived, our vet staff saw immediately that not only had Jolene been left behind to fend for herself, she was also very pregnant. Two days later, while safe in foster care, she gave birth to five kittens, named Dolly Parton, Reba McIntyre, Patsy Clein, Charlie Daniels, and Johnny Cash. What would have happened to this cat and her kittens had they not been rescued by a Good Samaritan and brought to TLC? Late this Summer, four kittens made their way to Ten Lives Club after being abandoned at an area pet store. The “Suits” kittens, named Heart, Spade, Diamond, and Club, had apparent health issues including eye infections, possibly caused by a congenital birth defect shared by all four kittens. Though one kitten sadly passed away after arriving at our shelter, our vet team hoped that the remaining kittens would be able to recover with medical treatment. The kittens immediately began receiving two types of eye medications, as well as antibiotics for upper respiratory infections. We were unsure at first whether the kittens would also require surgery to perhaps be able to give them more sight; however, once their infections cleared, the kittens did not seem to be limited by their ability of what they are able to see. They are able to play and navigate around like any other kitten! At this writing, Diamond has been the first of the Suits kittens to find her forever home, adopted from our Eastern Hills Mall location in October. Meet Orange Crush! This sweet girl was found as a stray in the Cheektowaga, NY area and brought to Ten Lives Club by one of our own volunteers. Orange Crush arrived with conjunctivitis, which is a common and fairly treatable eye infection often found in cats living outside. Our vet team started her on a course of antibiotic eye ointments to clear the infection, and she is currently recuperating well within our shelter. Once she is recovered and healthy, Orange Crush will be spayed and made adoption ready! YEAR TO DATE TLC INTAKE With one whole month of rescue work still to go for 2020, Ten Lives Club has already achieved a major milestone– we have surpassed the largest number of cats accepted into our program than in any other previous year. Between the intake of friendly strays, personal pet surrenders, and the transfers from over-crowded WNY rescues and out-of-state shelters, over 2,000 cats and kittens have been given a new lease on life through Ten Lives Club. Every cat that enters our program has a story. Many of those stories this year, unfortunately, have had a common theme– they were personal pets who’s owners have been forced to give them up due to housing or financial issues. Many more were strays, often females pregnant or with kittens, who were found by Good Samaritans looking to spare them from life on the streets. When many other groups were unable to accept new animals into their care during the shutdown caused by Covid-19, TLC was fortunate to be able to remain operational and be there when help was needed.

The two kittens’ other siblings, London and Rome, were adopted quickly from the café, but Paris and Florence stayed in the lounge for a while since they weren’t very outgoing at first. They did eventually start to come out of their shells and absolutely loved to snuggle, play with, and chase one another. A visitor to the café fell in love with the pair, but was unable to adopt them due to having cats of her own at home. She offered to sponsor their adoption fees if we could find someone who would take them together. The Weeks family were originally interested in adopting just Paris, but once the situation of the kittens being so attached to each other was explained, they decided to give a home to both! These siblings found their forever home because of a Good Samaritan sponsoring their adoption fee and helping to get them into a home together where they can play their days away. Happy tails to you, Paris and Florence! Beautiful ten year-old Lola was Buffy was found on a street in Buffalo A young lady named Anika reached originally a Ten Lives Club cat that as a young kitten.

INTRODUC'I'IOS: THE COLOIt FACTORS OF DOMESTIC CATS In a series of experiments begun at the University of Penn- sylvania in the autumn of 1914 and extending up to the present time, the inheritance of coat-color in cats has been investigated. Although the number of litters obtained has not been large, it has been found possible to determine several points in regard to the mechanism of heredity by means of critical crosses. This has been largely due to the fact that the characters studied seg- regate for the most part cleanly from each other so that it has been easy to classify the animals. My thanks are due to Dr. McClung and to Dr. Colton for the kindly interest which they have taken in the work and to the 539 540 P. W. WHITING University of Pennsylvania for the expense of the experiments. I also wish to thank the Zoological Society of Philadelphia for the opportunity of crossing my cats with the Caffre cat.

  • The First Case of 38,XX (SRY-Positive) Disorder of Sex Development in A
    Szczerbal et al. Molecular Cytogenetics (2015) 8:22 DOI 10.1186/s13039-015-0128-5 CASE REPORT Open Access The first case of 38,XX (SRY-positive) disorder of sex development in a cat Izabela Szczerbal1, Monika Stachowiak1, Stanislaw Dzimira2, Krystyna Sliwa3 and Marek Switonski1* Abstract Background: SRY-positive XX testicular disorder of sex development (DSD) caused by X;Y translocations was not yet reported in domestic animals. In humans it is rarely diagnosed and a majority of clinical features resemble thosewhicharetypicalforKlinefeltersyndrome(KS).HerewedescribethefirstcaseofSRY-positive XX DSD in a tortoiseshell cat with a rudimentary penis and a lack of scrotum. Results: Molecular analysis showed the presence of two Y-linked genes (SRY and ZFY)andanormalsequenceofthe SRY gene. Application of classical cytogenetic techniques revealed two X chromosomes (38,XX), but further FISH studies with the use of the whole X chromosome painting probe and BAC probes specific to the Yp chromosome facilitated identification of Xp;Yp translocation. The SRY gene was localised at a distal position of Xp. The karyotype of the studied case was described as: 38,XX.ish der(X)t(X;Y)(p22;p12)(SRY+). Moreover, the X inactivation status assessed by a sequential R-banding and FISH with the SRY-specific probe showed a random inactivation of the derivative XSRY chromosome. Conclusions: Our study showed that among DSD tortoiseshell cats, apart from XXY trisomy and XX/XY chimerism, also SRY-positive XX cases may occur. It is hypothesized that the extremely rare occurrence of this abnormality in domestic animals, when compared with humans, may be associated with a different organisation of the Yp arm in these species.

  • Standards 05-06
    $9.00 SHOW STANDARDS MAY 1, 2019 - APRIL 30, 2020 THE CAT FANCIERS’ ASSOCIATION, INC.® PREFACE What is a standard? It is not a cat. A standard is an abstract aesthetic ideal. The realization of a good standard would result in a work of art or, at the very least, an object possessing artistic unity. Artistic unity requires that individual parts be in harmony with one another; that they possess balance and proportion; that together they enhance each other and strengthen the whole. A good work of art has its own inner logic. There is a feeling of inevitability and rightness about each detail. With a standard we aim at some satisfying visual shape that possesses a certain style. Style, too, implies an inner harmony and consisten- cy between the parts. In the realm of aesthetics, the whole is really greater than the sum of its parts, but each part enhances or detracts from the whole. Its realization should possess aesthetic and artistic validity. Nothing grotesque or distorted or ugly is implicit in the standard. Why then do some winning cats look ugly or distorted? Because they violate in some way the basic concept. A cat can have individual “good” features, and yet not fulfill the ideal of the standard. In a poor or amateurish work of art, some parts clash or can not be harmonized with other parts. There can be much brilliance coupled with abysmal weakness. Artistic unity is impaired or absent. If one analyzes any cat that appears “ugly,” one will discover that some feature or combination of features does not blend in well, or abruptly interferes, with the basic overall pattern of lines and planes.
