If the cats have been together that long I would not worry about them mixing.
Vaccination is something others on the list can advise you on. Keeping them
separated will make them unhappy and you miserable.
Feed both of them the best diet you can, full of protein and vitamins and lots
of supplements. strengthen their immune systems as best you can. Stop
worrying or you will loose all the precious time you have with the little ones.
Remember that none of us know when we are leaving this world and we need to
have the best quality of life possible..........full of love and ear
scratchings and naps and chin rubs and................
If you have a holistic/alternative vet in your area please consult him/her for
additional information and find another regular vet. Anyone that would
recommend you kill a healthy cat just because it has been exposed to a virus is
too out of date to deal with the situation you have.
Blessings to you and your little ones.
If you have men who will
exclude any of God's creatures
from the shelter of compassion
and pity, you will have men who
will deal likewise with their
fellow man.

Get your precious little girl vaccinated for FeLV. Don't put your boy down.
It is hardly necessary. I'm always shocked when vets still feel that way--that
is old thinking! Just because he tests positive for FeLV doesn't mean he will
get sick right away. My kitty Mamie lived for ten years with FeLV. The
absolutely main thing you must think of is no stress for little Basil. Of
course, that means Basil will be the most spoiled cat on the planet--but what
are our darling pets for if not to spoil spoil spoil with love?
You may want to consider finding a new, more forward-thinking vet to get the
most positive, loving care for little Basil.

I read all the posts, so I can learn how to deal with this virus. I lost my
kitten at 9 months, and apparently even though he was vaccinated my 4 year old
has tested positive for felv. He was diagnosed 4 months ago and shows no sign
of illness. My vet had recommended putting him down. I just couldn’t lose both
my boys in one day. I am so thankful I didn’t because Basil is fine. My
question is about the ability to fight off the virus—does this really happen?
Has anyone on this list actually had a felv+ cat that kicked the virus? What
should I expect and what should I be doing to help keep him healthy? I tried to
separate my felv+ boy and felv- girl, but they howled and cried something
fierce. They have been together since they were kittens. I let them mix, and
she is still negative. I read the information about blood tests, and I get
confused. Basil’s blood work seems normal, other than the fact that he tested
positive. Thank you.
