Introducing Sissy and Rocket

[Sharyl]

I had been feeding a group of dumpster 8 kittens and ended up rescuing 2, Sissy 
and Rocket, when they were about 12 weeks old.  On their 1st vet visit both 
tested FeLV+.  I will have both retested the end of April to see if they are 
still positive.  I have them quarantined in my garage.   They are eating Iams 
canned kitten food supplemented with a Super B Complex, Lactoferrin and DMG.   
So far they are responding well and seem very healthy.  Both have had their 
kitten shots and been wormed.
   
  If they stay positive I will either find a forever home for them or build an 
enclosure onto the garage for them.  I have 2 indoor kitties and one has CRF so 
am concerned about bringing them into the house.
   
  My questions concern the rest of the colony which includes at least 4 adults. 
 I can not take all of them in.  My plan had been to TNR the colony 
(trap/neuter/release). The vet is recommending euthanizing the entire colony if 
these 2 stay positive.  I am not sure where I will be able to get then neutered 
if they are positive.  And I can not trap them just to have them euthanized.  
That may be the best thing to do but I just can't do it.  Is there any info on 
how to deal with a FeLV+ feral colony?  Any advise on how to get them neutered? 
 Am I obligated to tell the vet about the potential for FeLV when having them 
neutered?
