Hi Dot,
This is all new to me too. I do have other cats at home, Spicy lives in a
bedroom by herself. She has two windows to look out of, a cat tree and a
sofa. Spicy has had no signs of the illness. So I didn't know she had it. I
adopted her the first weekend in June and took her to the vet a week later.
The receptionist at my vets was the one that stressed getting the test done
because she knew that the shelter I adopted her from didn't test, I had no
idea. So for a week she was with my other cats. I just looked it up there are
6 stages of FELV. Spicy is in stage 5.

Hi April - I just read your mail. My cat, Chloe, female one year old, pretty
gray/black/caramel tabby, is also positive. I have known since June when she
had a fever. She has stabilized and is doing so well now. Very healthy and
playful. She is a little "squirt", i call her. I have been looking for a home
for her since I have two other negative cats and have to keep them separated.
She is so cute. i hated to just put her down so figured i would give it a shot
to see if i could adopt her. Do you have other cats at home? How is your cat
doing now? You said it's in her bone marrow. Are there different stages? I
am not sure totally about the disease as this is the first cat I have ever had
in 30 years that has the leukemia. So, it is all new to me also. Dot

Hi,
A couple of weeks ago I posted about my cat Spicy who I had adopted from animal
control unaware she hadn't been tested for FELV/FIV. I was questioning whether
to get her a friend or not. Last week I had her blood sent out to confirm if
she really had FELV. Well her results came in yesterday, it's in her bone
marrow. I still haven't decided on a friend for her yet, I'm unsure what to do
with my house already full. I think I would need to adopt another cat with it
already in their bone marrow too, right? I've never had a FELV+ cat, so I
don't know what to do.
April
