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 re positives negatives

First off, if she's neg on IFA I would go with that! Don't know why you wouldn't. Many of us mix pos/neg. I did that by accident when 1 of my cats tested pos 4 1/2 years after she tested neg on snap test. Never been outside so I assume she always had it. My other 3 cats were around her since

Re: [Felvtalk] Question re positives negatives

You all have been so helpful on my questions about Poppy I can't believe it! Maybe I can return the favor a bit help here. Most of my 10 cats eat in their crates. I have them stacked in the kitchen each cat knows which one is his they go into them at meal times. Otherwise I too would run

Re: [Felvtalk] Question re positives negatives

On that note, Copper and Thomas go into their carriers when they want to be alone or are pissed off. They even close (not latch) the doors. They eat on a bench they started eating on as tiny kittens. Carriers are wonderful if they are safe places. My boys traveled from the day they

Bailey was really very healthy until his last year, he started having teeth problems and we had to pull a lot of his teeth, then he was fine for about 6 months and then stopped eating and became very anemic and lethargic and had constant diarrhea. We did the bone marrow aspirate and they

I think that they are immune for life if they get and extinguish the virus. I do not believe that it is a mutating virus of any sort, at least not so far. The problem is you have no way of knowing for sure that you cat did this unless it was positive and is now negative. Cats develop some

Maureen, I don't have links to the science to answer your question.  I do know there are at least 3 versions of FeLV.  Personally I wouldn't take the chance of mixing without 1st vaccinating any negatives in the house.  I have mixed negatives and positives but my negatives were always current

Re: [Felvtalk] Question about the virus itself

My vet says I sould keep my negatives up to date on their felv vaccinations. It has been over 2 years now since I got my first felv pos baby and all are well, especially the felv pos ones. They are the sleekest, most energetic ones in the bunch. Annie especially has the shiniest fur and the

A veterinarian can probably be able to tell by palpating her stomach...I've had cats that were never very obvious, but when spayed, it was noticeable that they were in heat. Because Amber is FeLV+, build up her immune system with some good vitamin supplements before she is spayed. BTW, when she's
