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.

On Fri,
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
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
at the rate that accurate information about the virus has spread to 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
Thank you for all of your opinions and advice.

month and the final shot a month after that. I think once the kitten

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.

Hi everyone
My kitten Bernie was diagnosed with Felv about 2 months after we got him
home from the shelter. He was on interferon for 45 days, retested, and is
still positive. When we got him from the shelter he did not have his second

been through enough, so we did not want to subject him to the exposure. Our

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
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
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
