Hi Ellie
Keep Brie !!!!!!
The thought of her being in that stressful situation of travel,
moving to an unknown
place and being on her own for 20 hour days is unbearable. It would
be awful for a
healthy cat. Please keep her. I know you will be very happy that you
did.

Hello,
Im new here, my name is Ellie.
I joined because my "niece" kitty, Brie, is one year old and was
diagnosed
with FeLV about a month ago with a faint positive result (she is
supposed to
be retested in 2 months).
My question is - my sibling is planning a move across quite a few
states
(USA), about 12-14 hours travelling by car, to New York City. Her
job will
keep her very occupied, literally up to 20 hours a day!! (I couldnt
do it
lol).
No one knew Brie was + until last month because my sister never
took her to
the vets after finding her outside, alone, at about 4 weeks old. So, I
finally convinced my sis to let me take Brie in to be spayed,
vaccinated,
tested - and, that is when we got the diagnosis.
Just wondering, vet said that stress on kitty is *bad* - is this
type of
fairly long-distance move something that qualifies as stressful?
(will ask
the vet of course too!)
Has anyone used lysine supplements in an FeLV kitty?
Will my sister encounter any problems in trying to rent an
apartment with an
FeLV+ cat?
I ask because I can easily give Brie a home; I have no other kitties
(anymore - both of my elderly (16 &19) baby boy cats passed on
early this
year, one of CRF, the other of a sudden massive stroke, within 2
months of
each other). And if I can help Brie live a longer, happy life, I
would be
incredibly glad to do so.
Brie knows my house, my family, has stayed with us up to 3 weeks in
the past
when my sister has been out of town on business.
And I love the little baby Brie anyway! Just want her to live the
best life
possible, and am debating offering - again - to let kitty live with
me.
Thank you so much for your help & info!
Ellie
