Have you tried calling other vets in your area? I don't know where you are; could ask my vet - but I'm in Greenwich, CT!

We had two cats test positive for FeLV at our shelter yesterday. Today we found out that the new snap tests (the ones that test for heartworm also) have been associated with a higher number of false positives. I'm wondering how many of you have had experience with this, since one of these cats is a five year old neutered 20-pounder who's never been around other cats and has never been outside, and so I was a little surprised at the positive result. We would like to retest them but can't find any tests of the older type. Desperation is setting in because if we can't find somewhere else for them to go, and we have only yesterday's results to rely on, both will go down on Tuesday. If any of you can give me more info, I'd really appreciate it; I can then relay that to my director and maybe buy them another week.
