Re: [Felvtalk] Anyone in or near California want a very sociable companion for their FeLV+ cat?
You know you can get your cat vaccinated and keep her yourself don't you. I mixed all my FeLV + kittens with my adult vaccinated cats.

Hi, I am new to this list. I've just found out that a stray cat I've been looking after is FeLV+. She is an adorable, petite young female (1-2 years old) that I've named Munchkin who is spayed, and otherwise healthy. The most special thing about her is that she LOVES other cats. She chases after them and tries to play with them, and jumps up onto window ledges wherever she sees a cat sitting in a window. When I let her into my home, she ran straight to my sleeping cat and snuggled in next to him. I don't think she would be immediately friendly to other people since it took her awhile to trust me, but she now purrs and sleeps in my lap. She would make a wonderful companion for another FeLV+ cat. I cannot keep her because my cat is FeLV-negative and unvaccinated. I am lucky to have found a cat rescue to take her in on Monday, but she will be confined separate from other cats, and this makes me sad for her. Is there anyone who wants her? I'm in the Bay Area, California, and could drive her to you. Either before or after Monday (I'm sure I could get her back from her new lodgings, but would rather not put her through more than one move).

Re: [Felvtalk] Anyone in or near California want a very sociablecompanion for their FeLV+ cat?
Sharyl is correct. Just make sure you completely separate them until the vaccination has taken effect. After she gets the first, she will have to have the second one no more than 3 weeks later.

Re: [Felvtalk] Anyone in or near California want a very sociable companion for their FeLV+ cat?
If you can't mix and I understand your concerns, consider keeping the cats separated until you can find her a real home. The most loving cat I ever had rescued me when she came in from a pine thicket. She was FeLV+ and had a wonderful life.

Re: [Felvtalk] Anyone in or near California want a very sociable companion for their FeLV+ cat?
Hi Shanda, I had a positive cat with 3 unvaccinated cats for a year. Of course I had no idea he was positive. When he became symptomatic I had him and my other 3 tested. The other 3 came back negative after being around him all that time. They slept together, shared food and water bowls and litter boxes. Of course I had them all vaccinated at that time. Point is is that you can keep her and just vac your other cats. (-: Marcia Sent from my iPad that my most awesome kids surprised me with, Christmas 2010.

Re: [Felvtalk] Anyone in or near California want a very sociable companion for their FeLV+ cat?
Thank you everyone for your replies. I had this set on digest so I didn't see them. I am just learning about FeLV, and I have heard everything from a cat can catch it from walking across a surface a positive cat touched days ago, to it being very difficult to transmit even with direct contact. My first concern is to protect my existing cat. 2 different vets advised me against vaccinating him for FeLV because of sarcoma risk (he is an indoor cat). I'm considering it anyway but haven't made a decision. One vet told me that the PureVax non-adjuvanted vaccine was no better in preventing sarcoma. I'm considering getting my cat vaccinated anyway but haven't made a decision. Keeping them separated inside my small home is not possible. Ideally I'd like to find somewhere for this stray kitty with an enclosed outdoor area because she's apparently used to being an indoor/outdoor cat. I think she'd do ok indoors as long as she had other cats for company.
