Rhonda,
My first point is just advice based on what *I* would
do. I've only had one FeLV+ cat for just a couple
months now but have a very supportive, educated vet
and have tried to read as much as I can about the
disease as well as discussing it with her. Based on
what I know about the tests (pretty much what Lora
wrote about in detail), if I were in your position,
I'd take the IFA negative as the defining answer and
mix the kitties, keeping an eye on them and avoiding
any fights, scratches, etc. I would then probably ask
for another IFA in 60 days and get ALL the cats that
test (if you can afford to!)
But most importantly, I would get a new vet. Even
though Pilgrim doesn't appear to be FeLV positive,
this vet doesn't sound very educated an open to
treatment for special needs cats. If you live in a
large enough town, you should be able to find a more
supportive vet.
Just my opinion,
Jill
