hi,
i'm new to email groups and not sure about all of this.
i just found out the 8 kittens ive been fostering are FeLV posative and would apreciate any information on what to expect with this illness if i choose to keep them. the vet and the humane society whom im fostering for want to put them down.
the kittens are around 5 months old and from 3 different litters. 2 were born from a FeLV+ mom and 2 of the others nursed with them. the other 4 have been in contact with them from about 4 weeks of age. we found out they were FeLV+ when the humane society finally got them in to be "fixed" last thursday. the vet did not fix them and taked to me about not keeping them. the woman from the humane society has yet to call me about this.
right now the kittens are in good health and have wonderful personalities. i don't know what to expect in the near future w this illness. ive gone from crying the last 5 days to sounding cold about this. one of my concerns is not being able to aford medical care or medication in the future which would not be fair to the kittens. the cost of fixing them and initial shots is going to have to be borrowed. if anyone can let me know what to expect, what they have been through, any hope if we keep the angels we would apreciate it.
