Once a feral cat that is felv+ turns symptomatic, they can be really, really
hard to treat.
However, once they get sick, they can also "welcome" the hands on because
they know someone is trying to help them.

Faithful Bast at her side did wait,
Purring welcomes of soft applause,
Ever guarding with sharpened claws."

Well, the one who is asymptomatic may not even be FELV+. It may be a
false pos. Or the cat may throw the virus off. No sanctuary would
accept this cat without a pos IFA test. I think that is the issue
with testing feral cats. Homes are sometimes found for FELV+ cats but
it can take quite some time. Is the cat feral?
