Rita, from Purrever Ranch, asked me to post this as she can't seem to be able to post herself…

 

Have a 16 yr old black cat that has tested VERY LIGHT positive TWICE.  Her lifelong buddy has tested neg each time & remains with her.  I have to keep them caged (large upright).  They have an inside cage & a porch cage.  "Mischief" appears in the best of health, eats great, poops beautifully & shows no signs or symptoms of disease or illness.

 

Would it be safe for me to shut a room at night for them & let them have some freedom if I picked up ALL bowls & Litterboxes in the morning? And what exactly IS light positive?

 

Not sure what 'light positive' means.  I asked if this was on Elissa or IFA…  Rita runs a hospice for senior cats many of whom have various med problems so she is concenred about exposing their already compromised immune systems to FELV and exposing the FELV cat to other diseases….

 

Any ideas?

 

 
I can tell you what light positive is.  ""Light positives" are where the treated blood only changes color slightly. This means your cat is infected with the virus, but the virus is not very active in its system."

My kitten was "light positive" on Elissa.   She later tested negative.
