Thank you, everyone. I'm still trying to catch the mother cat from the park
and am worried about her status. When I catch her I'll get her tested myself.
But positive or negative, I don't have room for another cat. I found out about
the park from my husband. The conversation started, "I don't want another cat.
If I told you I know where there's a mother cat and kittens, where could they
go?" I had to find someplace to take them before he showed me where they were.
The local humane society changed management last year. They are now no kill
except for FIV and FeLV. Before that they killed everything. The shelter I
used to work with also changed management, but that one was for the worse.
Both my husband and I have health issues. Taking in another cat is not an
option. Is anyone from the group in Michigan? I'm in St. Clair County. There
are 2 rescues on the west side of the state that take FeLV+ cats, but both are
full.
I can't just abandon the mother cat. Someone already did that. But I'm making
an almost 50 mile round trip every day to feed her.

Current thinking seems to be that the odds of a regressive infection resulting
in FeLV-related disease is “unlikely”. This is according to the 2008 AAFP
Retrovirus Guidelines. Focal infections where the virus is restricted to
certain tissues are rare, and these infections also seem unlikely to result in
FeLV-associated disease.

Note on going "negative": sometimes the virus can become dormant and hide for
a while. It can later reactivate and the cat will test positive again.
