Re: risk of contagion Q
I brought my last stray in immediately after her 1st and only (as far as I know) leukemia shot. So it hadn't had time to be boostered and take effect yet. She was "Mama Kitty" from North Carolina. You might remember the story. It was winter and she was better off taking her chances here so I brought her in. As a feral that had been through everything she had been through I just felt she wouldn't catch the felv and she hasn't. It's been about 2 years. tonyaKerry Roach [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Kerry, I have all my kitties together with Bandy and have since I took him in 2001...He wasn't tested then but since we found out in July about his Felv and Fiv, I couldn't separate them...The others tested neg..except 1 which was Felv + with no symptoms...They haven't been vaccinated inat least 10 yrs...and I didn't re-vaccinate them now either...I guess it is just a feeling that I go with, I don't know...I am not really worried about them getting FIV, but the Felv I don't know about either...I have a 2 yr old that is with him too and he is negative too and wasn't vaccinated until this summer...In my opinion if the kitty has a weakened immune system to begin with then maybe they will contract it, I still read about all of it, too and I just don't know what to believe...

RE: risk of contagion Q
I have done that but not on purpose! I had a feral cat in a carrier in my living room where I had maybe 1/2 dozen feline leukemia positive cats and kittens at the time. She got away from me and hid it the room - and was there for a full 9 months before I was able to catch her. Ate and drank from the same bowls, used the same litterbox, slept together. She was not vaccinated and when I caught her and had her spayed she was tested - totally negative. It was at that point I decided that the disease might not be as easily transmitted as it has a reputation for being.

Here's a Q that I keep meaning to ask you (and everyone else who mixes): Do any of you mix successfully WITHOUT vaccinating your negs? I did in the past. When I moved up north, from Arkansas, none of my cats had ever been vaccinated against anything. Moogie (the FELV+) was born while in AR. I did not find out she was positive until over a year later, when she first became ill. She had been mixed with the others all that time, NONE of them ever vaccinated. All of the negatives that I had at that timeSTILL test negative to this day. (though they have all been vaccinated ONCE against FELV [when we first found out Moogie had it, my vet advised the vaccine for the others]and 3 times with the standard 3-way feline combo vaccines, plus rabies since then).

RE: risk of contagion Q
Thanks Gloria--- you mix yours--- but you say they're indoors, meaning they don't come into contact with unknown cats who may have Felv. Ok, so next Q, and this time it's pertinent to my own dilemma: Is your thinking that your healthy cats have successfully stayed neg while living alongside your positives. BUT if you introduce a new FeLV (or if they came into contact ouside with a positive) that might change--they might contract FeLV that's a different strain?? I ask because I have one negative living with my one positive, away from the other negs. I worry about fostering another FeLV in case the neg *becomes* positive thru the new cat. (I'm also harboring a tiny hope that either the pos cat may have become neg in recent months OR his July 2004 test may have been wrong---he has always seemed so healthy while with me...(he was in the hospital before he came to me but was reported not to be positive then.)

RE: risk of contagion Q
Title: Message Thanks Kerry---yes, agree, I would not have separated them either--that's why I still have one neg living with my 1 (remaining pos). They love snuggling together. -Original Message-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kerry RoachSent: Monday, November 07, 2005 9:22 PMTo: Felvtalk@felineleukemia.orgSubject: Re: risk of contagion Q Hi Kerry, I have all my kitties together with Bandy and have since I took him in 2001...He wasn't tested then but since we found out in July about his Felv and Fiv, I couldn't separate them...The others tested neg..except 1 which was Felv + with no symptoms...They haven't been vaccinated inat least 10 yrs...and I didn't re-vaccinate them now either...I guess it is just a feeling that I go with, I don't know...I am not really worried about them getting FIV, but the Felv I don't know about either...I have a 2 yr old that is with him too and he is negative too and wasn't vaccinated until this summer...In my opinion if the kitty has a weakened immune system to begin with then maybe they will contract it, I still read about all of it, too and I just don't know what to believe...

Re: risk of contagion Q
Well, the virus is very flimsy, as I understand it, the contagion is not high (like a URI). It is generally supposed to be contagious thru food and water, but I've mixed my felv+ and - cats for long periods of time, with them sharing food dishes, and no problem. Hope that's some comfort. Don't know if there's any research on that.

Of course I can't guarantee, but I'd say nill. Haven't you ever heard when it dries, it dies? Tell her not to fret, I'm sure the hooligans are fine.

Re: risk of contagion Q
Hi all, We have been out of touch for awhile so I hope everyones kitties are doing ok.. Bandy is FeLV and FIV + and has lived with my other kitties since 2001. After finding out that Bandy had all of this back in the summer, I had all my others tested. My 16 yr old is negative for both and he is Bandy's best buddy...they clean each other and all the rest..I have one other that was + for Felv but shows no signs of illness..so maybe the test was false/postive..I will have him re-checked again later. So I just keep them all together as I have... It is a little scary though, but I don't know either...Like I said mine (4 that are together) are fine.. My 16 yr old hasn't been vacinnated in probably 10 yrs or so either for Felv. Just wanted to share this with you.. Kerry and Bandy Yahoo! FareChase - Search multiple travel sites in one click.
