My crew of born-in-a-brush-pile kitties acted like that at first. They were 7-8 weeks old when we brought them into our house. We had them quarantined in our bedroom, got a positve FELV test, and kept them in there until we could run a confirming test 3 months later, and get our adult kitty

Folks on this list much more knowledgable than me will help. But, how old are they? Have they always been together? What does the vet say is wrong with Moses? FELV itself is not what is making him sick—what he likely has is any one a number of conditions that FELV cats are more prone to.

One of my babies, Monty, was diagnosed at 9 months old. He was incredibly ill and the vet didn’t think he would make it and wanted me to put him to sleep as well. I wasn’t ready to give up, so I went to another vet. 3 years 3 months later, Monty is still with me and have never been sick
