Re: [Felvtalk] Wonderful, helpful answers,

Hi again Theresa, I am not understanding the circumstances. Was the cat left at a vet clinic? Is your daughter’s friend adopting him? If so, send the toys along with him to his home. If he seems OK health-wise, other than testing positive, he could live for years and be happy and a wonderful

Re: [Felvtalk] Wonderful, helpful answers,

Yes, I am over cautious also. A real worrier, so your answers have helped me. My daughter’s boss took in this stray cat, brought him to the vet for treatment, shots etc.. The boss is going away for a week, and asked if I could keep the cat during that time. I have a cat garderie, but I never mix

Re: [Felvtalk] Grieving for K

So sorry for your loss! But I can tell your cat was well loved, had a wonderful life, thanks to you. I wish all owners treated their pets the way yo treated Krammer. Sent from my iPad ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org

[Felvtalk] Question

I have three cats, and take care of other people’s cats. My daughter’s friend has a FeLV positive cat, can I keep her in a separate room for a week, do I have to wash all the linens and clean the room, after the cat goes back home? It’s because I take care of other friend’s cats also and want

From what I read (scientific articles) the virus might stay in the room from 2 to 7 days. No conclusive data on this, but be careful. Even if a bite is surely the most common way to catch Felv Inviato da iPhone > Il giorno 22 nov 2017, alle ore 17:03, kresch...@mchsi.com ha scritto: > > My

Re: [Felvtalk] Question

My take on this disease is that FeL is transmitted by direct contact with blood or saliva from the infected cat. The FeLV is transmitted primarily through a bite. - Original Message - From: Theresa O'Rourke To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Wed, 22 Nov

Re: [Felvtalk] Question

Actually, Feline Leukemia can also be transmitted through ‘friendly’ contact. Sharing food/water and grooming each other over a period of time. The virus only lives for a few hours in the environment, so really just cleaning out the food/water bowls and litter box after the cat leaves should

Re: [Felvtalk] Question

We had a FeLV cat who lived to age 7. No other cat in our house was infected, despite the fact that our vet initially said that the infection would decimate the house. (We had at least 8 other cats.) That was the case event though we never isolated our FeLV little boy (it would have been fairly

Re: [Felvtalk] Question

Thank you, that is one of the best answers I’ve received. I won’t do this again, because I take care of other’s cats. However, for this time, the cat will be in his own room, he’ll have special toys I’ll throw out after, I’ll play with him, and brush him, poor thing. I’ll wash my hands and

Re: [Felvtalk] Question

As I said – I had a cat in with at least 8 other cats for 7 years with no transmission. They shared food and water bowls, beds, grooming, playing, biting, scratching - the whole nine yards. I don’t think it is particularly contagious with older cats. Amani From: Felvtalk

Re: [Felvtalk] Question

Immune system plays a huge part-usually mature cats have a vibrant immune system, it’s the very young or older cats that would be more at risk, IMO. Also, the FeLV cat’s immune system is compromised, I believe, so contact with other cats would be something to consider for the health of the FeLV

Re: [Felvtalk] Question

I have had feral and dump cats for over 40 years, including 4 FELV cats. I have never had to wash anything when one of them passed. None of my FELV negative cats ever contracted the disease and all have died of old age including Annie who was FELV and over 10 years. They eat from the same

[Felvtalk] Wonderful, helpful answers,

I am still going to give the poor kitty a lot of love while he is here, it is so sad, He was a stray someone has adopted brought to the vet! What a hard life these poor cats have. My three cats are spoiled  Sent from my iPad ___ Felvtalk mailing
