Re: [Felvtalk] new positive kitten/QUESTION
But what about mixing when the healthy male cat likes to bite and plays rough with the FELV pos cat? They wrestle, lick, groom together and bite/nip as they play and cuddle and sleep together. Has anyone had mixed cats that do this and my question is, is it safe in that situation? It's one thing if they are all just hanging out but if there is close contact, what is the consensus? Is that a safe situation for mixing the positive and negative ones? Curious to know. Please respond.

Keep the negative up to date on shots and he should be fine.

Re: [Felvtalk] new positive kitten/QUESTION
My positive grew up wrestling with his two negative brothers and they were fine. They initially all tested negative, so some of the tussling happened before the neg's were vaccinated, and still no transmission. Once Will tested positive, we vaccinated the neg's. Will lived with them until he passed at 3.5 years.

[Felvtalk] Anyone in CA know of someone to take FeLV kitten?
Can anyone help? Natalie sus...@bannermattress.net writes: I found a stray kitten at work last week. I took her to my vet this Saturday and she tested positive for feline leukemia. I already have two kittens, 7 months and 3 months old, so there is no possibility for Rockie to join my household. I have heard that there are people who keep or foster cats with leukemia. Do you know of anyone who does this? She is a friendly, sweet, delightful little tortie who gets along wonderfully with my two dogs. She is approximately 7 weeks old and weighs in at a whopping 1.11 lbs. Thanks for any help you can provide.
