PLEASE go to www.adopt.bemikitties.com and put your vet's info into the
database of progressive vets! hopefully, someday, there'll be enough listed
so that whenever anyone gets the diagnosis, they can just go there and find
someone nearby who will work WITH them, and FOR the kitties.

from some of these comments, i feel extremely fortunate to have my vet. when
we found out about Annie, he explained the 2 choices i had and said it was up
to me. he also told me that felv cats can live a long and normal life. BIG
PLUS, when i found this site and began showing him some of the

veterinary community, and from there down to shelters and rescues, it'd be
YEARS before news of a cure would ever reach them.
it's incredibly discouraging. i don't know if petsmart left in the comments
from the attendees at th
It makes me a little upset that research for Felv+ cats has been so
wishy washy. I realize it probably all comes down to money and
business, but I was also thinking, this disease is sadly a way for
shelters to try to control over population of cats. I think its pretty
automatic to put felv+ cats to

I've had 10 or 15 FELV cats over the last 6 years. I have 5 now. Two of the
current cats, Oliver and Chloe, came from a lady in Oklahoma who had to give
them up because of family problems. Her vet there vaccinated them regularly

We decided to by pass the vaccines for our FeLV cat. We figure his body has
been through enough, so we did not want to subject him to the exposure. Our
Vet agreed with that decision.

Hi Maria
There is a current, non profit research project being conducted by
Dr. Jean Dodds DVM
and Dr. Ronald Schultz called the Rabies Challenge (Google it). It is
a seven year project
in which they intend to prove that one rabies vaccination will
protect an animal for its lifetime.

Idea: Dixie loved to travel and Copper and Thomas have followed
suit. They frequently go on rides in their carriers to places they
have fun. I have had the kittens traveling and meeting people since
they came into my life. I encourage you to do the same. The boys

Thank you for all of your opinions and advice.
I went ahead with the feline distemper vaccination. Bernie has been
totally fine since The vet's plan was to do another shot in 1
month and the final shot a month after that. I think once the kitten
series is done, I may stop. Bernie is an indo
After Dixie was tested she received no vaccinations. She became an
indoor cat and was not exposed to anything that she would be
vaccinated for. My vets, both regular and holistic, supported this
decision. Everyone has to make up her own mind but, if I have cats or

Hi
I would think twice about vaccinating a positive kitten. I know that
the vet that
I use would not vaccinate a positive cat because vaccines can stress
and assault
a fragile and compromised immune system.
Can you postpone the appointment and give yourself some
time to do some research and
i would suggest you get bernie the rest of his kitten shots, broken up into
two or not as your vet recommends, then re-evaluate at the 3-year point, as
with any other cat: the vaccines really aren't effective against distemper,
at least, without the full kitten series (as too many rescues/sanctuari
