MN. Right now I'm about to switch from oral ivermectin to Feline
Advantage
Multi.
His fur appears to be growing back, and he must be scratching less
because
nearly all of the scabs/ bumps are gone- BUT it would be nice to
destroy
the mites FASTER, & without the nasty tasting oral.
Your thoughts?

Hi Jennifer,
Thank you for taking him :)
What are you using to treat him for mites and worms? It
shouldn't be difficult to keep them under control after initial
treatment,
so is something else going on?
Where are you? No need to be specific, just general area,
and
maybe someone can offer more "local" advice. V take FeLV+ cats.

On Dec 22nd, 2016 an ADORABLE young male kitty arrived crying @ our
home.
We already have 3 cats & a dog, so we tried to find him a home. After
a
month, and having allowed him inside (kept seperate from our zoo) due
to
lethally cold weather, we decided he was here to stay. I was
DEVASTATED
when he tested positive for FeLV. My problem isn't whether to give
him a
chance at as long of a happy life he may have ahead of him, but HOW !
We
can't keep him alone in the basement bedroom forever, there isn't
even a
decent sized window for him & my heart breaks that the only time I
can give
him is to sleep by him at night. The few times I check in on him
during the
day are so brief! He has SUCH character, and is SO handsome. I don't
know
how he ended up at our home, unless he was dumped or left a nearby
farm.
WHERE are the rescue agencies for FeLV+ cats ? ? ? Currently I'm
treating
him for skin mites (has ear mites TOO) so he MIGHT be deemed
"adoptable" at
a shelter that does try adopting out FeLV+ cats. The precautions
necessary
to keep the mites, FeLV, oh yes- AND worms (had to treat EVERYONE)
from
spreading is also wearing me out.
CAN ANYONE HELP US ?

I have no other personal experience with Felv although I have work

I'm hoping that all our fur babies have longevity and a quality of

too.

If I had known about the need for FeLV+ homes before I got my other
cats, I
just might have started a little refuge myself. How worried SHOULD we
be
about keeping the FeLV+ stray I've become attached to over the last
few
weeks?????
Worrying is ruining quality of life here...

The cat I rescued from my neighborhood September of last year is
probably
around 7-8 years old and just got a positive IFA for FeLV. She also
has FIV
and bartonella (which was treated with an antibiotic. She is missing
many
of her teeth and the rest need to be pulled. She has good and bad
days. I
feel so bad having to keep her quarantined in a bathroom but she
isn't a
fan of other cats and I don't want my cats exposed. I got her a cat
tree so
she can sit and look out the window and she seems happy I just wish I
could
find her a forever home. I've been trying for months with no luck.
She's
such a sweet cat.

My cat was diagnosed at age 11. He's about to turn 15. His health
has
been up and down since the diagnosis.
My other cat (who is negative) gets vaccinated yearly since his
diagnosis. They were already living together so any risk of exposure
had
already happened. After almost 4 years, she is still negative.

Jennifer, how old are your other cats? Are they vaccinated for FeLV?
I
would speak with your vet, but I have never ever had a cat spread
FeLV to
another cat in my household. I might be more worried if your other
cats are
just kittens, but if they are adults, just take the precaution of
vaccinating them.
