I'd get her a friend and a new vet.

In June we adopted two cats a young black female(Spicy) and a orange
female (Sunny) from animal control. Our local shelter was overrun
with cats and begging people to come adopt. When we took them to
the vets a week after being adopted the receptionist asked if we
wanted them tested. I did not know when I adopted them that animal
control does not test the cats unless you request it. Well Spicy
tested positive for Feline Leukemia. My vet wanted me to put her to
sleep because she couldn't live with my other cats. I couldn't do
it she was only 10 months old. So I transformed a spare bedroom
into her home. She has a cat tree, sofa, windows and toys galore.
I think she is lonely being by herself. A rescue in my area just
posted about a mother cat and her juvenile litter of kittens having
all just tested positive for feline leukemia. I was thinking of
looking for a friend for Spicy. I had talked to a shelter in our
area that takes in FELV and FIV positive cats. They recommended not
adding because it could make Spicy sick or the other cat sick.
Spicy is do next week to get retested for FELV, the vet said there
is remote chance she could turn negative. If she is still positive
do you think it would hurt her to get her a friend??
