I preach to everyone who will listen that they should not end a cat's
life just because of 1 test. My 2 positives are now 7 and 3 years,
healthy as all my other cats and no one who is negaive has contracted the
disease.
Next command is spay and neuter. Another woman and I are starting a
housing and feeding statioin for the ferals in Silex. The town is
moving up on the hill because of flooding and they will not let anyoe
bring/encourage ferals in the new town. So to save them from
extinction, we are getting a safe place for them in the old town.
Recently learned that a neighboring town deals with stray dogs and
cats b sticking their noses in a cars exhaust pipe. Starting
apetition against that. Thy don't even try to take them to arescue
organization, ust catch tem and kill them. Even if the belong to
someone and were outside. We are trying to find someone i tat town to
start an Alley Cat program for dos and cats.
At least they won't reproduce and gie people another reason to kill them.

Glad to hear that about Amber. I haven't been able to follow along
with all the posts these last few months but I had wondered what had
happened with Amber. She's the one your husband built that nice big
totally awesome enclosure for - right? That's so awesome that she
turned out to be negative. Especially since she started out so
malnourished. I hope you told the vet that so he would know not to
suggest killing the next cat that test positive on the initial combo
test.

So many cats are put down unecessarily after testing positive on the
first test. I went through this with my sweet Calico, Amber. After
rescuing her, she tested positive in the vets office and they thought
I should end her life. I decided against that had her retested 3
months later. She tested negative and also had a negative IFA test.
I've had her
9 months now and she is an 8lb kitty who bullies the three other cats
who are twice her size. She likes to have boxing matches with them.
They never hurt each other. She just wants to show she is not afraid.
LOL. She is so full of energy and very affectionate when she wants to
be. I am so glad I waited and did not end the life of this precious
animal.

This is what I have read about FeLV as well.

Exposure to Feline Leukemia Does Not Always Result in Disease by
JaneA Kelley, Cat expert and animal communicator
When a cat is exposed to the feline leukemia virus (FeLV), the cat
might have a transient infection and fight it off, developing
immunity -- some vets say that up to 70 percent of adult cats survive
exposure this way.
If the cat doesn't overcome the initial infection, the virus will
move to the bone marrow and the cat will be persistently infected.
And finally, the cat may continue to harbor the virus, thereby becoming
a carrier.
Many latently infected cats actually become free of the virus after a
few years, but others become persistently infected. Cats that test
positive should be retested 12 weeks later to confirm the diagnosis.
