Hi Shana,
If your mother in law has agreed to take her I think that would be great. If you have your negative cats vaccinated you could also choose to keep her yourself. If she is in perfect health, she could still throw off the virus, could never get sick from the virus, or could get sick. She could get sick sometime soon, or not for 10 years! That's just how unpredictable felv is.
You will get lots of good info. from this list. I would put her on a good quality food and a good vitamin supplement, and that's all I would do until and unless she showed some symptoms of some sort.
Also, yes, I would have her spayed. It's less stressful to go ahead and do it than to let her go through her cycles. I would find a good vet that is willing and positive about treating positive cats. There ARE many out there. Any vet who says there is nothing
you can do to help a cat who is not even sick is not a good vet in my opinion.

Hi Everyone,I am new to the group. We found a beautiful sweet little kitty in our yard 3 wks ago that we named Audrey. She behaved like a feral cat the first week we had her but is now a complete love. She purrs when she hears your voice and jumps into your lap for pets. She has had both the ELISA and IFA test and sadly both have come back positive. She is 1 yr old (although she's tiny, 6 lbs) and in perfect heath. We have 2 others cats that are negative (we have kept her in a separate room). We just received the results of the IFA today and we are heartbroken. We were hoping the ELISA was a false pos. Our vet said there is really nothing we can do to help her. My Mother in Law has offered to give her a home and has no other cats. I would love suggestions on our next step with her and any success stories you may have. Also, we need to have her spayed but I am worried about doing it. Any thoughts?thanks so much,Shana - Toulouse, Pollock and Audrey
