Dear Laura, Thank you for giving Dani a chance for life. I also have a lot of cats (15 at home) plus a FelV sanctuary in my building in town. Sometimes these FelV kittens can live long lives, and others will die. I have found there is really nothing you can do to cure the cat of FelV, but some will throw off the virus when they have lots of love, a good diet, and no stress. I do not believe in heroic measures or invasive proceedures.
In July I took in a litter of 4 FelV kittens, and they were happy playful babies until November when one of my calico girls named Molly died of anemia. Her calico sister Maggie died of the same thing one month later. Now their brother, a precious silver tabby male, Willie, my very favorite, is becoming anemic and soon there will only be one left from this litter. It is heart breaking each time I lose one, but we gave them a wonderful home and lots of love during their short lives and this is my consolation.
