Hello Alejandra & Adri & Chema, First thing if at all possible find a new vet, if it isn't possible tell your vet there are things that can be done and if he isn't open to researching and doing what you 'd like to try then tell him you will be looking for another vet. Tell him you have come across a whole group of people that are in your exact circumstances and their are doing all kinds of pro-active things to keep their kitties as healthy as possible. For instance my kitty Bailey is 9 years old and has been positive since I found him at 5 months he is very healthy and only recently had issues with his teeth.
First try and get your kitties on a good quality food, wellness is one but there are many others and some other people on the list will give you brands (my kitties are unfortunely fancy feast junkies and as of yet I haven't been successful in switching them to a better food, but I will try wellness when I do). Second there are some good things you can supplement them with to help keep their immune system strong and healthy. Things like interferon, vitamin C, CO Q-10, lysine, others will fill in anything I've left out. And in my opinion one of the most important things is to keep their enviornment stress free, stress is a big trigger in making FeLV kick in and making kitties sick. Give your babies a smooch and I'm glad you are going to keep them, so many end up losing their homes or being euthanized because of a vets recomendation to euthanize, I'm glad you decide research. PS. You are correct in finding a lot of conflicting and VERY outdated info out there (even Cornell's website has a lot of outdated, incorrect info) it's really a shame.
