Consider another FeLV+ cat if adoption takes too long. You can save a
life, help both cats live happily and ........ well, two are always
easier than one.

Hi,
My foster kitty, Zelda, has been diagnosed FeLV+ (snap test and
IFA). I am seeking advice on the best way to care for Zelda, who is
about a year old and has no symptoms, and also looking for resources
and ideas for adoption. She has had extensive bloodwork, and our vet
says she is an otherwise healthy girl.
Any advice, particularly regarding adoption resources for FeLV+
cats, would be greatly appreciated. She has a home here as long as
she needs it, and I will move mountains if necessary to find an
adoptive home for her. She currently has her own room at my house,
but I can tell she is a social girl, and she deserves a home of her
own. I have four FeLV negative cats of my own, and don't want her to
spend her life in a small room by herself.
I am observing normal sanitary protocols - she is separate from my
cats with no contact, and I thoroughly wash up when entering and
leaving her room.
Right now she is being treated for bartonella, which all of the cats
from the colony she came from have tested positive for, and is two
weeks into her three week treatment. We also treated her for
coccydia. She's been spayed and vaccinated.
Is there anything else I should be doing for her besides providing a
warm, quiet environment and lots of love?
Thanks for any info you can provide - this is my rescue's first FeLV
case. It was suggested that I send her to sanctuary, but I see that
option as a last resort, and don't want to turn my back so quickly
on this sweet girl who has put her trust in me.
Thanks!
Trish
