karen,
the group here gave me suggestions when my kittens turned up felv+. i had gotten 2 list's. 1 if i had to shop at a pet store such as petco and another list if i could find a place that sold the brands. of course i cant find those lsits right now. sigh
i started feeding my group Innova Evo
Karen,
I use Innova Evo, a great product with NO grains in
it; it's one of the best foods you can buy, if not the
best. Cats cannot process grains, and most cat foods
contain them. Some kitties like the Evo, some don't.
You can't get it at Petco or Petsmart; only in smaller
pet boutiques and
Hi Beth,
Will Feral...LOLOLOL. What a GREAT name! I am sorry
to hear that he is FeLV+, but that is not a death
sentence. It is however a challenge. Many, many vets
will say to pts, but my FeLV group does not believe in
this. I wouldn't expect three more positives. FeLV
is such a strange and

Hi Karen,
It's great you found this list, but not so great the
reason you had to go looking. I hope that you've
gotten a lot of your questions answered so far. I'll
try to add a little more. Like everyone else said,
the two most important factors in keeping your FeLV+
healthy are a stress free

Some members of the list recommended Innova wet food, so I tried it. I'm feeding Pippin that now and she loves it. She was eating Science Diet and I,being uneducated about pet food, did not realize that the grains were bad for them.Gina kandbz_ mom [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:I'm just

Hi Cindy,
So glad to hear there's another shelter out there
doing what yours is doing. I second all that Nina and
Michelle said. They are veterans here. If the
kittens do develop the virus, nothing may happen at
all for a long time, as long as they are kept stress
free and eat a good diet.
Try EVO. It is extremely high protein
compared to most of the other cat foods and has no grain.
If you have men who will exclude any of God's
creatures
from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who
will deal likewise with their fellow
man.

Sounds like a plan. Just remember that your cats that test negative now could test positive later. It takes a whild for the virus to grow (or whatever) enough to test positive. Your Bob looks a lot like mine my Bob is better known as 'fat cat bob'.tGina WN [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
Hi Maggie,I only retest negatives now if someone gets sick and we can't pinpoint the problem. (And that's rare.) But if we can't figure out what's going on I usually spring for an felv test. It has always been negative everytime. (over 10 years)tonyawendy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi

Definitely spaying (anesthesia) is more
stressful than going through heat I am in a similar situation with my

I am not a vet, but I have a heart disease kitty and I know they can
be spayed with gas anesthesia only - apparently it is less stressful
on the body? Maybe you could consider that?
I know unspayed cats are more susceptible to various kinds of cancer
than spayed cats, but I don't know how
Gas anesthesia is much less complicated to the body than injectable
ones.. but it still very hard on their body-- the important thing to
remember is that yes definitely it CAN BE done.. and even there maybe a
good chance that nothing would happen to they kitty during or after the
surgery...
Most on the list do spay because of the stress involved when going into heat.t[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:Good afternoon everyone! I have a question about whether or not to spay my Lucy. She was symptomatic from when I got her at4 months until about a month ago but now seems to be pretty

There's a girl who just posted here who works at a

Hey
everyone,
I know it hasn't
been that long ago that I reported that we had lost our Miss Kitty to
FeLV. Now, not even a month later we've lost Clack. He was 12 years
old and I'm pretty sure he was negative. He lived outside with his brother
Click.
He was acting a bit
abnormal
