Once again, thanks to the kindness and support of our dear friend Dr. James Richards, we are pleased to be able to share with you the latest "Vaccine-Associated Feline Sarcoma Task Force" update.   
The Vaccine-Associated Feline Sarcoma Task Force (VAFSTF) will convene a roundtable discussion at the American Animal Hospital Association headquarters in Denver, Colorado, on December 6, 2004.  A list of questions submitted by veterinarians and cat owners will be posed to roundtable participants, and a written transcript will appear in an upcoming issue of the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association. 

It is only by continuing to work hand in hand with our friends in the professional community that our family is able to make such a positive difference in the battle against VAS and the lives of animal lovers around the world.
