Re: [Felvtalk] Sweet double pos orange tabby boy needs a home
I can't put him in with the other cats. I wouldn't do it with my own cats, one of whom is FIV+ and thus especially vulnerable to contracting FeLV, because the vaccination is not 100% effective and having seen the ravages of FeLV I would never risk that. But it's not up to me in our foster homes, anyway. I can't make other people put FeLV+ cats with their own negative cats, and we can't expose cats we are saying tested negative to FeLV and then adopt them out when they may be incubating it. Plus we cannot afford to give our foster cats 2 FeLV shots on top of everything else we do; it would add another $40/cat in vet costs even with the discount we get. thanks, though, Michelle ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org

Hi Michelle, I think you are right in this. I have combined, but it was inadvertant, and wouldn't do it conciously were there an alternative. No vaccine is 100%. Having run a foster program myself, I understand that you cannot ask them to risk either their own pets, or other fosters. I hope you can find him a home.

Re: [Felvtalk] Sweet double pos orange tabby boy needs a home
Hi Lee, Just a caution, 18 months ago I had no FeLV positive cats. I now have two. The same cats. The infection can apparently sequester in the bone marrow, and resurface with immune suppression and/or stress. That's why I say my "mixing" was inadvertant :( Margo -Original Message- From: Lee Evans <moonsiste...@yahoo.com>Sent: May 28, 2013 3:31 PM To: "felvtalk@felineleukemia.org" <FELVTALK@FELINELEUKEMIA.ORG>Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Sweet double pos orange tabby boy needs a home Where do you live?

[Felvtalk] Sweet double pos orange tabby boy needs a home
Hello, all! Some of you may remember me from years ago when I had fostered and then adopted 6 FeLV+ cats and then painfully lost them one by one over a few years. I moved from MA to NJ 8 years ago, and 4 years ago I started a TNR and rescue program in my town. Having gotten our town under control and to no kill status, we are brancing out a bit to the border towns. We just TNR'd a mother cat and removed the kittens, who were 8 weeks old ,to tame, and the father, who, once trapped, could be handled. The kittens are fine, the mom is fine and back out, but the father tested double positive for FIV/FeLV. We do not really have anywhere to put him. He is in a fosterer's guest room right now but she is only allowing that fora few weeks. We have FIV+ cats in our foster homes (I have one in mine), but no FeLV or space for them as we are just a few volunteers with foster space in our homes and handle 100+ cats/year. He's a really sweet guy, a bit timid/shy but loves to be pet and brushed. The vet said he's 4-5 years old. We are still just referring to him as papa cat and for some reason haven't decided on a name yet. I realize no one really comes to this list looking to take on more positive cats. But if anyone has space for him, it would be wonderful. The FIV is not so much of an issue for cats with FeLV, as it is a less bad disease. Out of my 6 FeLV+ cats, only one had FIV too and it did not seem to spread (it only spreads through bite wounds) and she actually outlived all the others who only had FeLV (Patches, if anyone remembers). thanks, Michelle L.

Re: [Felvtalk] Sweet double pos orange tabby boy needs a home
If he is a sweet guy, why not put him in with the others. As long as they re vaccinated for FELV and FIV there should be no problem.

Re: Neighbor's cat double pos
What wonderful work you do Kelley. How old is Jack? Has he showed any symptoms? I have little knowledge of this horrible disease, just my own experience with my little guy who died, but I think if the lady is feeding him well and he'd doing ok I wouldn't alarm her with this news. Maybe just tell her the prognosis and to watch for signs of the disease. What else can you do. If he becomes ill and expensive medications are out of the question then I guess we know what has to be done. That's rea;;u moce tjat upi are offering the free spay/neuter to people. I got our Snowy from TLC animal aid and that was included in the fee. $125.00. We still haven't had her spayed because she suffered a little setback and had to have minor surgery, but when we do get her spayed, I'm gonna pay the fee anyway or give it to TLC. The vets that work for these organizations around here are extremely generous with their services to needy animals.

RE: Neighbor's cat double pos
You know, there are probably thousands and thousands more undiagnosed cats then diagnosed ones. What matters most for these little ones, at least in my opinion, is the overall care and love they get. If they're safe, not hungry, and in general good health-that's half the battle. The rest is great and I do give my some higher quality foods but everyone just does the best they can. I'm not sure frightening this disabled woman would help Jack in the long run. There are decent foods at the supermarket and my guess is that these kitties also get tastes of human food as well. Perhaps talking to her about supplementing their kitty food with some plain chicken or beef or even veggies when she has extra wouldn't hurt. Listen, my family had 3 cats who lived to 23, 22, 24 and they survived on 9 Lives and human food! Explaining FELV or FIV is tricky because people think aids or leukemia. Maybe just saying that Jack's got a virus that makes him more prone to develop infections, etc. would be less frightening. Do you know how old the kitties are?

Re: Neighbor's cat double pos
You're right. We probably shouldn't even have tested him, and normally I wouldn't, but there is another cat in the house, Star. We had her spayed and initial vacs for distemper, rabies and FELV 2 weeks ago, and she's going to be boostered and tested tomorrow. I don't know exact ages on either - apparently healthy young adults.

Re: Neighbor's cat double pos
Hi Kelley, A predicament indeed ... I would just explain that is they can afford it they should get any negs vaccinated, do the best as far as food they can afford and most important as far as I am concerned keep stress to a minimum. The cats all live together already so have been exposed to each other so now it's just a matter of doing the best they can with what they have. Bailey ate Fancy Feast of his 11 years, it was only until the last year and a half or so I started feeding raw, he was healthy until the last 6 months of his life. Stress in my mind is far more important than anything else, Fancy Feast if they can afford it is one of the better store bought foods if there is such a thing. I know a lot of cancer, CRF and other kitties with health issues eating Fancy Feast and they are doing just fine. -- Belinda happiness is being owned by cats ...

Re: double pos.
For me, I just deal with the FELV the way I usually do, and assume FELV is the major culprit. With FELV cats that are fairly young - like less than 4 years old - I'd give interferon. For those older than that, I haven't been doing anything except giving them a stable environment and care. I have 1 double positive right now, he's about 4-5 years old, B.B., and he's doing great. I had one prior to that, and he was in bad shape when I got him. he lived 1 year. Mr. Black Kitty was a great cat, great attitude - had diarrhea problems, which got resolved, and had fragile bones prior to his death. Seemed to die of kidney failure, I don't know.

Re: double pos. (Kerry)
Hi Kerry, Thanks for all the good info. For now I amboosting Percy's immune system w/my usual bag of tricks, the Lysine,Missing Link Nutrional Yeast. All the felv+cats get these supplements. I am concerned about Percy, tho, he has runnyeyes,which I hope to get cleared up soon. He has an unknown history, he was rescued from a rescuer that turned hoarder, along w/ 184 other cats. Prior to that, not sure,probably the LaPorte high kill shelter. (very HIGH kill)..? That is where she (hoarder) predominantly pulled from. His fur was kinda rough w/dandruff, but I think just in the 3 days he has been w/me on supplements,moist food higher quality dry it looks like it has improved. So, do you belong to the fiv yahoo group? And you feel like you get alot out of it? I am already on so many groups, but I think fiv is an important disease because so many cats are destroyed w/it when they could have very long lives. And they can live w/non fiv cats so easily.

Re: Sylvester, double pos, goes to Best Friends!
Who rescued this kitty, Kelly? Just curious. Feel free to email me offlist. Dr. Mrs. Smith used to have a double pos., he lived a long time, he was an older cat that was an ex feral. He recently passed. Susan J. DuBose ^..^ www.PetGirlsPetsitting.com www.Tx.SiameseRescue.org www.shadowcats.net As Cleopatra lay in state, Faithful Bast at her side did wait, Purring welcomes of soft applause, Ever guarding with sharpened claws.
