Hi,
 
Is your cat vaccinated?  Have you talked with your vet about this.  I think it's HIGHLY unlikely that a 15 year old cat would 'catch' felv from a positive cat.  Has your cat been exposed to any other cats ever?  If he has he's probably already been exposed.

Hi,
 
If your 15 year old negative is vaccinated, it's unlikely that he will get FeLV, especially if you can keep them separate for a while until they get used to each other's scents.
 
I mostly lurk on the list lately, and am FeLV free at the moment, so I will let other list members who are more active than I respond with their ideas.
 
My 2 cents -- you may have trouble finding a FeLV positive rescue.  I would suggest putting flyers up at local veterinarian offices, Petsmart stores (and any other business like it).  You could also do a search on petfinders.org for your area and see what you find.
 
Hope this helps.

Subject: cat question

Hello,
Two weeks ago I took a cat in that had been abandoned.  Today, I took her to the vet and found out she was tested as positive for feline leukemia.  I also found out today that she is pregnant.
 
I have a 15 year old cat that does not have leukemia.  Thus, I cannot keep this new cat but I need to find a shelter that can take her or a family that this will be their only help.
 
Please let me know if you have any ideas.  I live in Florida.
 
Thank you in advance,
Janet
