Ahhh, that's so nice........... :)
As for wiping off kitty that runs into the felv+room, I wouldn't, just be quick
to snatch the little bugger tho!
Everything always looks greener on the other side of the door..........
Thnaks for sharing your story, good luck & please keep us posted!

Evening, all!
I'd first like to thank everyone for the wonderful information provided -
it's been incredibly helpful! Oddly enough, as this is mentioned, when I showed
interest in the possibility of assisting this little guy, I was told of one
other who was in a similar position - FeLV pos purebred white persian. The
first one is a 5 month old kitten who had recently gone through neutering and
jaw surgery, only to be tested and come up pos. I felt particularly soft to the
fact that he had gone through so much, and to have this guy euthanized after
everything he's going through, especially after a successful surgery at that,
it broke my heart. I've worked with seniors and special needs cats for quite a
few years, and since moving into our newer home, have been blessed with some
extra space. The doror is pretty flush with the ground, but I will definitely
make a point of ensuring no one plays 'paw games' or 'paw hockey' with
eachother; LOL! The only concern I really have is in moving from one room to
the other, I have a couple of cats who can't stand to see a closed door, and
love to try to dart through the doors when they open (meaning a closed bedroom
door, or what-have-you; all of our guys are indoor only), and I'd be a bit
concerned about one of those guys getting curious and attempting to dart into
the 'FeLeuk' room. Based on what I'm reading, I should be ok, provided I snatch
the curious kitty and get him out promptly, correct? Without sounding too silly
or paranoid, should I take a wet cloth in such a situation and just give the
kitty a quick wipe off?
Again, thank you so much everyone for all of the wonderful feedback. If all
goes well, we should be meeting our pair on Labor Day weekend. I'm still open
to any other advice anyone has as well. And in reference to diet, we feed
either Nutro diets or Evo/Core (for the 'really special' guys) and on holidays
(Turkey Day and Christmas, as well as Easter), let's just say we usually get
two turkeys and one doesn't go to us; LOL! We shred up the meat after cooking
it and give the kitties a much deserved treat (and a much deserved rest when
they all fall asleep after their fill of turkey!)
Thanks again, everyone! Looking forward to sharing our newcomers with
everyone!
