Welcome! This is a great group, glad you're here.  It's nice to have the group support, in particular with the great variety of vets out there, some of whom want to euthanize our FELV friends.

You're kitties are probably ok, I wouldn't worry too much.  It's not as contagious as you might think, and some of the people here mix their FELV and non-FELV cats.  I used to mix, but now I separate mine because I have "fosters" for a cat rescue.  If I didn't, I'd probably mix.   Others here separate their kitties, but regardless it's always a supportive group.  Thanks for being here - I'll be interested to find out the result of your kitties' tests.

I'm so happy that I found this website.  I took in a stray cat 2 months ago and he was diagnosed with FeLV (both ELISA and IFA positive). 
 
I have 3 other cats in the apartment, and I need to get them all tested to see if they are infected. :( (This is really my fault.  I only know that I need to de-flea and de-worm a new cat, but I didn't know about FeLV and the fact that it's transmitted by saliva.)  It's been a week since I heard the bad news about the stray cat.  At first it really freaked me out and I cried for 2 whole days, but now I'm feeling much better.  I decided not to worry too much about the other 3 cats before their test result is out.  I already isolated them, BTW.
 
Anyway, here is something about the stray cat.  It's a boy, about 1.5 years old.  I named him Prince.  Prince weighs 11 pounds now, compared to 8.5 pounds 2 months ago.  He's very pretty, extremely sweet and purrs all the time.  He also has an amazing appetite.  I had him neutered on Tuesday.
 
Here are some videos that I want to share with you:
Yes, he's very very active.  I can hardly believe that he is sick.
