This is a hard one but remember that there is nothing certain in this
world and do not obsess over the diagnosis. Concentrate on the
wonderful friends you have and enjoy your lives together. Give all
the cats the best food you can and give them the supplements that seem
right to you. If you have a holistic/alternative vet available,
consider checking her out. I had a little over three wonderful years
with Dixie. She wasn't sick until a few days before she left this
world. I hope you enjoy a lot more years than I had but I would
never, ever give up one minute with Dixie Louise.......not for
anything. The time I had with this wonderful being was worth any price.
Listen to the members of this group. They are great.
Good luck and all the blessings possible to you and all your little
friends.

Hi everyone. My name is Jennifer and I live in New Jersey. My one
year old male kitty, Ash, was just diagnosed with FeLV yesterday. I
also have two other cats, Morrison and Isobel, and they've been
living with Ash for a year (I've had him since birth). He's blind
in one eye and has developmental problems in his back area, but
other than the obvious (his illness), he's a very happy, content,
sweet and playful boy! Very talkative as well, especially in the
morning! He's all black with tiny white hairs throughout his coat
that you need to really look to see. He eats like a pig and right
now, seems healthy. He's getting fixed in a month (that's the
soonest my vet could get him in) and my other two cats are being
tested for FeLV in two weeks and if they test negative (which I
really hope is the case), they're getting vaccinated. My oldest,
Morrison, was supposedly vaccinated two years ago, but they have no
record of it at my vet's office, though they told me he was
vaccinated when I took him for his shots two years ago.
I am looking forward to chatting with you all and I really wish all
the best for you and your kitties!
PS - can we share pictures of our cats on here?
