I guess I am asking if the retesting will effect anything you do for
him. If it is a matter of letting him with the others then test. I
deal with a lot of ferals and don't test because it doesn't effect
what I do with them. They are spayed or neutered and released to the
same area they and all the rest have been in. It is a personal
judgment call.

Does it make a difference to how you love him?

We have a bot, belonged to the ahole neighbors who did not take

Very long story short, we have him. Took him to the vet to get a
check up, shots and neutered with the intention of making him a
part of our family, along with 3 other cats. Found out he was Feluk
+. After balling and researching this crap disease, we decided we
loved him too much to let him go anywhere but here. He was
approximately 1 year and 8 months old when he tested positive on
11/29/11. He is now almost 2 and a half. I was wondering if anyone
could tell me if it would be beneficial to have him re-tested. Is
there any chance he may have grown out of it since he was younger
when he got it? He eats well and plays well. Sometimes, his stool
contains a small amount of blood in it. We have had him tested for
everything in an effort to find out why this is. The vet stated
she does not believe the blood has anything to do with his FeLuk.
He is currently on ID. So, does anyone think getting him tested
again is a good idea?

Glad you left that vet. even if the cat were still positive, at
that age she culd live a long and healthy life. Annie was 4 when
she tested positive. She is now 8 going on 9 and the healiest,
happiest cat I ever saw.

I recused a cat who was approx. 3 years old. She tested positive
the first time for FELV but three months later she tested
negative on the ELISA and the IFA. The first time she tested
positive the vet hinted that I should euthanize her! I am so glad
I did not listen to him. BTW, he is no longer my vet.

Hi, I have a kitten who tested Felv positive at 5 weeks old on
both the IFA and Elisa test. Both were done on the same day. He is
so precious to me and I am so sad. The vet basically said he has
no chance. I have been giving him lysine daily and lots of love.
He is now 3 months old and is happy and appears healthy. Is it
possible that he might be negative now?

Hang in there Lorrie. Sometimes they turn. Did you ever find the
mom cat? If so, have her tested too. If she's young, she may turn
negative in 90 days also. The ones a year or younger sometimes
do. Even older cats can fight it off. I have a cat who was
positive when rescued. He was about 2-3 years old, male. Had him
for about 90 days in a separate room, retested with IFA test and
again with the ELISA test and he was negative with both tests. I
still have Moses. It has been 6 years now. Percy, a recent rescue
tested positive for FIV and FeLv. Kept him in a room for 90 days
also, retested. He's FIV+ but negative for FeLv so I moved him to
my little FIV+ area. He's doing fine. Unfortunately, Smooch and
Taco were also adult FeLv+ cats, stayed positive after 90 days.
They roomed together, separate from my other cats for 2 years,
died within a month of each other. Sad but at least they had
those 2 years. Two years to a cat
is like 5 years to us. Hugs to you and the kittens.
Spay and Neuter your cats and dogs and your weird relatives and
nasty neighbors too!

I rescued a litter of four kittens two months ago. Had them tested
yesterday for FelV and all 4 are positive! I am heartsick.
However, I have
a FelV section in my cageless shelter building where they will be
able to
stay until they are tested again in 90 days. They appear so
healthy and
playful right now, and I can't bear to put them to sleep. Still I
know
some of them may not make it............ SO SAD.
