There is no waiting period. The FELV virus dies within minutes to hours
outside the cat's body. AIR kills it. Bleach and disinfectants are not
needed, just letting it DRY completely kills it. I'm sorry for your loss.
But you really don't have anything to worry about. Just change the
litterbox,

Relax. You've come to the right place. A lot of FeLV+ cats live very long

What test was used? ELISA? If so, retest with the IFA in a few months. The
ELISA has a high false positive rate.
