Re: [Felvtalk] Anyone in or near California want a very sociable companion for their FeLV+ cat?

Yes, that was a helpful article - thanks.

Well, I found that my stray only had an ELISA test.  I didn't take her
to the cat rescue. I am going to have her re-tested in a few weeks -
maybe it was a false positive!?

 Thank you everyone for your replies. I had this set on digest so I
 didn't see them.  I am just learning about FeLV, and I have heard
 everything from a cat can catch it from walking across a surface a
 positive cat touched days ago, to it being very difficult to transmit
 even with direct contact.

 My first concern is to protect my existing cat. 2 different vets
 advised me against vaccinating him for FeLV because of sarcoma risk
 (he is an indoor cat). I'm considering it anyway but haven't made a
 decision. One vet told me that the PureVax non-adjuvanted vaccine was
 no better in preventing sarcoma.

 I'm considering getting my cat vaccinated anyway but haven't made a
 decision.  Keeping them separated inside my small home is not
 possible. Ideally I'd like to find somewhere for this stray kitty with
 an enclosed outdoor area because she's apparently used to being an
 indoor/outdoor cat.  I think she'd do ok indoors as long as she had
 other cats for company.

That is highly possible! If it is positive again, please do an IFA test to 
confirm. If it is positive, then it's in the bone marrow :(


But in the meantime, let's think positive :)))

Re: [Felvtalk] Anyone in or near California want a very sociable companion for their FeLV+ cat?

She is beautiful.  I hope you find her a home!

 Hi, I am new to this list.  
 
 I've just found out that a stray cat I've been looking after is FeLV+.  She 
 is an adorable, petite young female (1-2 years old) that I've named 
 Munchkin who is spayed, and otherwise healthy.  The most special thing 
 about her is that she LOVES other cats. She chases after them and tries to 
 play with them, and jumps up onto window ledges wherever she sees a cat 
 sitting in a window.  When I let her into my home, she ran straight to my 
 sleeping cat and snuggled in next to him.  I don't think she would be 
 immediately friendly to other people since it took her awhile to trust me, 
 but she now purrs and sleeps in my lap.
 
 She would make a wonderful companion for another FeLV+ cat.  I cannot keep 
 her because my cat is FeLV-negative and unvaccinated.
 
 I am lucky to have found a cat rescue to take her in on Monday, but she will 
 be confined separate from other cats, and this makes me sad for her.  Is 
 there anyone who wants her?  I'm in the Bay Area, California, and could drive 
 her to you.  Either before or after Monday (I'm sure I could get her back 
 from her new lodgings, but would rather not put her through more than one 
 move).
