The only reason I know this is because I visited Best Friends and volunteered in February. It was great! I don't think their website is very informative about the specifics of the sanctuary. I wish they had a map on there and a key that explained what each unit/octagon was.

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". Susan J.

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. Michael Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL.com. Need a vacation? Get great deals to amazing places on Yahoo!
