I was optimistic enough to believe a slight positive meant the cat might be throwing off the virus....... Not so. My cat, aged 10 months, whose 2nd Elisa test was a slight pos. died as did all his other litter mates who were FelV pos. The vet says they probably got the virus from their mother, as they were feral rescues. I have a FelV sanctuary and it is heart breaking work. I give them as good a life as I can, with no cages, but they rarely live longer than a year..
