Angela, I think there is some confusion. I'm not sure why you euthanized your cat.
Cats should never, ever be PTS just because of a positive FELV test, especially not if it is an in-house SNAP test. FELV is not cancer. It is a virus. There are cancers that FELV+ cats are more likely to get than FELV- cats, but these cancers are treatable. Please do not PTS your other cats if they are FELV+. I would recommend getting a different vet. I know how shocking a diagnosis can be, but unless a cat is actively suffering there is no reason to rush to PTS.
