i have had 7 kittens in the last 4 years with Felv. the longest one lived about 18 months, she got horrible stomatitis after 1 year, we had all of her teeth removed, she did great gained weight and had some good months--she learned to play (she was a feral kib) then stopped eating, must have had some growths in her throat or lungs we don't know but ended up not being able to breath. She was a beautiful long haired orange girl. I miss all of them every day but I am glad they had the time they did with me.
Someone said they have some cancer treatment--would you please let me know what it is. I have a 13 year old who is losing weight and we don't really have a cause. I am interested in trying this on him. Shar Susie [email protected] thanks!

Percy is FIV+ though. He's a young street fighter rescued in terrible condition. I'm really happy he fought off the FeLv. I have an FIV+ area for my little colony of positives so no problem. Percy is going to join them this week. He's all shiny and fat now. The bad news about FeLv kittens is that most of them never make it to adulthood. The ones who do will live for about 2 years. Taco and Smooch were rescued as adults already. They were FeLv+. They lived with me for about 2 years. They were buddies, from different street situations but they bonded nicely the last year of their lives. Spay and Neuter your cats and dogs and your weird relatives and nasty neighbors too!

And when and if tested, there was absolutely no sign of it by age 3 months, although some vets say that it could be up to 6 months. They shed the virus quite rapidly as their immune systems develop.I have never heard of kittens born to FeLV mothers ever being negative. _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list [email protected] http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
