I got my first felv+ kitty last July, from a very bad "Frankenbreeder situation"
I actually got 3 cats from this particuliar case.
One passed away last Thanksgiving, but she also had chronic health problems
prior to me getting her.
She was a sealpoint Rex.
Naughty Lola, a doll faced cream choc. Persian, is stillw/me and for now is a
healthy & happy kitty.
Ursula, sealpoint British shorthair, tested neg/neg when I got her, but obvious
had an exposure @ the house, she turned pos. two months afterwards.
So far, she is doing well.
She is about 5 yrs.,is my guess, was not spayed when I got her, probably a
"stock" cat.
Lillian, hard to say, was pos. when I got her last April.
Papillon, pos. when I got him.
And Percival, pos. when I got him.
So, that certainly does not answer your question......
But I will say this, it'sjust hard tosay how long they will live.
But preventative meds will helpthemlive longer.
Best Friends has a felv+ cat that is what, 22 yrs?
Have you checked out their website to see if there is any info on it?
The felv+ suite is called "Benton's House".

Ok, guys, since I'm feeling particularly sad tonight about my babies, let me
ask this...
How long have you all known of a cat surviving after FeLV+ diagnosis?
I know the standard is, according to almost everyone, 2-3 years after
diagnosis, but I'm sure some of you all have had experiences with cats living
longer?
Just curious what everyone's experiences have been.
