Wow! I've never heard of a FeLV test getting lighter and lighter each time.
Do you know if the vet that is testing her is using blood with the ELISA
test or tears? I know using blood for testing is more accurate. You may also
should have the vet do an IFA test as well, just to be certain. She sounds
like a wonderful cat!! I'm not even close to PA so I can't be of help :(
Keep us posted on her testing and if she gets a new home.
Thanks for sharing and good luck!

Subject: [Felvtalk] Stroudsburg, PA Looking for help for sweet Angelina-
beautiful long haired kitty
If anyone would like to see a picture of this gorgeous cat, I can forward
it privately – this site will not accept it.
Is there anyone in the area who could help this beautiful cat?
Natalie
Angelina was an abandoned outside kitty... she is a beautiful longhaired
girl, extremely affectionate, and although back in Oct she tested "slight"
positive for FelV, she has since tested lighter and lighter. She really
needs rescue- and a safe secure home.... please please pass her on, she
has been caged too long and getting very depressed. Take a look at that
sweet face.
For more information, please contact Debbie Bonilla, at
helpingthep...@gmail.com. She is a lovely woman, just trying to help the
folks who found this cat get her to safe furever home.
Personally I would offer to help with transport within a few hours drive.
Please send her on to anyone you know ho might be able to help.
Thank you!

Yes... she was tested in Oct, Jan and again Feb. Each time the dot gets
lighter and it takes longer for the dot to show. I believe she is just a
carrier. That is why I can't in good conscious send her to a hospice with
actively sick cats, then for sure she would be sick.
She was found by a part time couple in the Poconos. A friend and I asked
the couple of they would keep her.. she was obviously abandoned because
she was just too super friendly to be a feral. So you got her fixed and
shots but at that time we were told she was positive. The couple has a
Siamese cat so therefore could not take in Angelina. They promised to
feed her outside and take care of her. In Nov I got a call saying the
people had not been up in 5 weeks nor did they expect them to come during
the winter to feed her. They told me she was freezing and crying from
being hungry. It was then I found a lady to keep her in her garage in a
crate. I bought a kitty hot pad that could be microwaved and it stays
warm 10 hours a day, but she was not let out of the crate. She got all
matted and put on a lot of weight, but she needed some weight on her. But
when I found out that she was not out of the crate and 4 months had past,
I found this new place for her, even though it is temporary it is better
for her. I am grateful to the lady who kept her all winter. She did the
best she could considering she has tons of cats to care for and is out of
her home 12 hours a day. Angelina just could not get the care she needed.
Now she is in a bilevel kitty condo and she is let out to roam each day
while her condo is being cleaned. She is being handled and petted and
loved! Yay for that.
All I am praying for now is a nice person to fall in love with her and who
only wants one kitty. Apparently she contacted the virus and got through
the sickness. You would never know she is sick at all. They think all
she is is a carrier. I will get her tested again in a month or so.
Thanks for helping!!!! Angelina sends her love!
Hi Laure,
I have not found a permanent home for Angelina yet. I was able to move
her to a place where she is out of the cage in the garage but it is
temporary. She is still crated and I was hoping to find her a home as an
only cat since she is extremely sweet and friendly.

We have a beautiful long haired cat that loves people and is slight
positive for feline leukemia. We are looking for a home for her, maybe
with another cat that has the same issue or a single home. If you know of
anyone that would take her, please let me know. She's located in

Naomi told me Angelina is getting more sad being alone. She says all the
cat wants is to be petted and loved. I am still looking for that special
person out there than only wants one cat :(
