Hello, I'm with a rescue group and have questions about 2 different cats who have tsted positive. Ross - A family we connected with rescued a front declawed, orange 2 yr old male from an abandoned building 2 yrs ago. He test leukemia positive. Family did not give up on him and he has lived in child's bedroom since. He's 4 now, they recently retested him and he is still positive. The family would keep him but would rather he have a more normal life because he's a really nice cat and maybe a little lonely.
Someone is interested in adopting the cat and we know her - she's a good mom and recently lost her orange female to cancer. Here's my first question - 4 yr old very healthy and happy male - am I correct in thinking he has a good shot at a long life since he's past that 2 yr mark and has never been sick? 2nd cat Prince - trapped him a few weeks ago. Looks like a 3 month old kitten but is getting his adult teeth so in reality closer to 5 months. Was extremely dehydrated and constipated, and very skinny under his very matted fur. Absolutely beautiful kitten, but something is "off" about him. Should I get my hopes up about Prince retesting negative in a month? Opinions/best guesses please? Janine
