I am in a unique situation. We live on a military base in Japan with limited resources. I take my cats to a general practice Japanese vet. He has kept my Fuji alive and healthy for almost a year. She is FeLV positive with Mediastinal Lymphoma. I never had the opportunity to give her supplements or any of the other treatments that others use. My own experience had been that a low stress environment, attention to the slightest signs of illness, decent food and lots and lots of love have been sufficient!
Of course every cat is different, but it seems as though a regular vet who is willing to do a bit of research on occasion is good enough for an asymptomatic cat.
