Welcome Mary.
I'm sorry to hear about your kitty. What's his name? I'm new here as well, but I've found that these people are very knowledgeable and caring. They all know what it's like, what to expect, and they'll help you. My vet recommended that I put my FeLV rescue down even though he has no symptoms and only tested positive on the Elisa test. He's still awaiting the IFA results to confirm. I came here and realized that there is so much more a person can do for and FeLV kitty. Although the people on this group are not vets, they have had many diverse experiences that can really help you think about all your options and what to discuss with your vet. Best wishes to you in this sad time.

The vet said all we can do at this point is try to make him feel better. He apparently has been born with it even though he tested negative. My other cat tested negative. They are indoor cats. He's eating a little. I'm new to all of this and don't know what to expect. I hope he has a chance of getting better. His gums are just starting to get paler. The good thing is he has been coming out of the cabinents. Mary wendy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: _____ Ahhh...imagining that irresistible "new car" smell?
