Sounds like she will need a foster home for about 3 months to determine whether
of not she IS pos., and if so, whether or not she will throw off the virus.

Subject: Re: FelV+ kitty that needs a home
I will talk to her about the pos. pos. cat then and tell her what you said.
As for the black and white kitty, I just have never brought another cat into
the house because #1- Monkee hates other cats! He's crazy. However, one of
the "street" cats I talked about, I call her "the little girl"- she is on my
front stoop all the time and when Monkee is on his porch, well, they see a lot
of each other. Now, he's not totally cool with her, but he has gotten better
and she's kind of become a nice, distant companion for him since he's gotten
ill. When I do take him out now, she walks around us, near, but never
touching, and he seems to like it. But I wouldn't want to do ANYTHING that
would distress Monkee- like bring in a kitty. And #2- I still have trouble
understanding the whole FelV+ thing. Since she is a kitty, I would worry that
she could be false pos. or throw off the virus and if so, exposure to Monkee
would be a very bad thing. I have just always played it safe and never let
Monkee touch or get near any other cats ever. I always tell Monkee that I
could "do more" for the kitties out there if he wasn't such a b*stard! But I
think he "knows" that and likes to keep it that way!
