Hi Everyone,
I certainly hope I am doing this right...I am a member of other lists, but this
one appears different for some reason...anyway, my friend and I rescued 8
kittens last weekend. 2 were older kitties. 1 was a momma cat with 3 kittens
and 3 other kittens we had to give to her because their other momma
disappeared...and then a 6 month old. The male 6 month old tested negative on
a combo...but the momma ended up testing positive for FELV. My friend and I do
not know as much as we wish we did about this. We have separated the momma and
babies into a separate room than the male kitty. We understand he may have
contracted it from her, we need to test him again in 4 months. We want to know
as much as we can about this disease and how dangerous it is for other
non-positive kitties. Can anyone recommend any sites for us to visit or anyone
to talk to? We have searched online but have found so many different opinions
on this that it is hard to get answers...some say you can
spread the disease through sharing food and water bowls and others say you
can't. We are beyond frustrated at this point and need all the help we can
get...
Thanks,
Sheryl
