On Dec 22nd, 2016 an ADORABLE young male kitty arrived crying @ our home. We already have 3 cats & a dog, so we tried to find him a home. After a month, and having allowed him inside (kept seperate from our zoo) due to lethally cold weather, we decided he was here to stay. I was DEVASTATED when he

Jennifer, how old are your other cats? Are they vaccinated for FeLV? I would speak with your vet, but I have never ever had a cat spread FeLV to another cat in my household. I might be more worried if your other cats are just kittens, but if they are adults, just take the precaution of

My cat was diagnosed at age 11. He's about to turn 15. His health has been up and down since the diagnosis. My other cat (who is negative) gets vaccinated yearly since his diagnosis. They were already living together so any risk of exposure had already happened. After almost 4 years, she is still

I’ve experienced nose issues in two cats, but in both, the problems were serious (one cancerous and one some sort of abscess which eventually impinged on the brain, causing a coma). Sounds like yours isn’t serious, which is a good thing. But, yeah, I’ve had to deal with blood all over the place

I just had a slight cold issue and it seemed Annie always got in my face when she sneezed. I took her to the vet first day since she is positive (age 8 going on 9) and felv issues usually start with upper respiratory. She got a shot and I brought home some antibiotics to give her. She seems
