Chris -
I would search the archives on "mixing". A lot of us mix our positive &
non-positive, vaccinated cats. I have done it for over 10 years with no
transmission of the virus to my healthy cats. I even have had FIV cats mix with
the FeLV cats with no problems. And, yes, I do retest my negatives.
It becomes a little difficult when you foster healthy cats for a shelter. I
only foster FeLV cats these days. The shelter would not allow me to foster both
positives & negative, even if they were separated.

Hi
everyone:
I
just joined up, this is my first post. To be brief, I volunteer at
our
local
animal shelter, and just adopted a FeLeuk+ girl. I have worked
with
them at the shelter, but never had one in my home, so I joined up
to
get some tips and help, when I need it. She is about 2 years of age,
named
Raja, very pretty, and also very sweet, and a happy girl. The
shelter
had sent in an IFA test on her, to see where she stands, and we
are
waiting for the results of that. I have just switched to an
integrative
vet,
and plan to take Raja to her after we get the results.
I
also have 8 other cats and 1 rat, all of which came from the shelter
(fallout
from volunteering), and I am usually fostering for them as well,
usually
cats, but I’ve also had rabbits, ferrets, a hedgehog, a hamster,
and
rats. Now I have a mama and her 6 babies, which were born here.
Of
course Raja has her own room, with the rat in his cage to keep her
company.
Before
joining I had never heard of mixing them with non leuk cats-I find
this
interesting. Not sure I would have the guts to do it, though.
I
was wondering-are there files on the home site that I can look
through
before
I start asking questions that have probably been asked here a
million
times?
Thanks
so much for any future help.
Chris
