I am also relatively new to this site (only since last week) and I have to
say that I have learned that this group of individuals all should be
blessed as they are a wealth of information and support. I just adopted a
FeLV + kitten from a friend (she did not know he was) and totally devastated
when I found out his condition from the vet. I have to admit it was this
group that calmed me down and made me realize that Ziggy's diagnosis was not the
end of the world. As they have told me you just have to stay strong and
enjoy Tom (and the others) for as long as you can. I am of the belief that
my Ziggy came into my life for a reason and while I do not know why yet it will
come to me one day and I will forever be grateful it has.

Hello Erika
Welcome from me too, and thank you for caring for little Tom and and
wanting to do the best for him. Don't worry---you will find a ton of support
and info from the wonderful folks here just like I did/do. I agree
with Tonya---best to keep them all indoors just now until they're
re-tested. The first of my brood to be tested came up negative--then a few
weeks later tested positive, even though nothing had changed -- ie she was
still quarantined with her siblings. (The consensus is that the virus was
still too new in her body to be detected by the first
test.)
I'll
send you some info on nutrition privately (I don't want to fall foul of any
copyright laws) that I found really useful when i was pointed to it. You'll
get lots of other valuable input from other folks here
too.
Take
care, and big hug to Tom!

Hi Erika,
Welcome the the list, although I'm sorry you had to find us. Right
now it sounds like you're doing about all you can. How old is Tom?
What ages are the others? If possible, I would keep them all inside for
now.

Hello,
I am new to this service, so I hope I am doing
this right... We just found out that our 3rd and newest kitty is FeLV and
FIV positive. I am really overwhelmed, and not sure what to do next. You all
seem so wise with this subject, and seeing your responses makes things seem
more hopeful. Any help would be great. The other 2 were tested and
came up negative. They will be rechecked in a few weeks. Tom (the FeLV cat)
is being kept separated and indoors. I would really love any ideas!
Thank
you so much!
Erika
