Thanks to all of you for your responses. If it were up to me, I'd
have the kitten stay where it is for awhile... at least until it's
vaccinated. It isn't in a shelter or anywhere dangerous. I think my

The virus isn't that contagious. Even if the cats get together,

I think you'll be safe. When the virus dries it dies.. As long as you keep the kitten away from a positive that will groom or sneeze on it. Good luck. tonyaLance [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello all,My mother is considering adopting a kitten that needs a home. To the best of my
Hello all,
My mother is considering adopting a kitten that needs a home. To the
best of my knowledge, the kitten is FeLV negative. It's only six
weeks or so old. Right now, my FeLV+ cat, Ember, is living in my
