Statistically - about 2/3 of kitties who are exponsed to the virus end up throw off the virus - and, I believe that chances are better if a kitty is older when they are actually exposed to the virus. There is no way for us to know how reliable this statisic informaiton is -- but we know that

Hi Glenda and Heather I haven't read your previous posts (and I'm at work, so have to be quick) but just wanted to say I had 5 FeLV positive kittens, and one slightly older cat who was negative but who lived with them (they came as a colony so she had already been exposed). I gave them 13

Since 2001, I've had 9 FELV+ kitties (I have to list them: Calawalla Banana Booboo, Mittens Mr. Black Kitty, Dallas, Houston, Felicity, Chloe, Oliver, B.B.). The first 5 are now dead, all but one died at age 2.5-3 years. Actually I never know how old Mr. Black Kitty was - he looked old,

HIDEYO, MY BIGGEST QUESTION IS HOW COMMON IS IT FOR THESE KITTENS BORN TO A FeLV+ QUEEN TO THROW OFF THE VIRUS? THERE WERE SIX KITTENS FROM THIS LITTER AND ALL WERE ADOPTED BY LOVING PEOPLE WHO ARE WAITING AND HOLDING ON TO THEIR KITTIES, HOPING THAT THEY WILL BE ABLE TO FIGHT THIS DISEASE OFF.

I'm fairly certain the remaining kitten, Mickey, was from the same litter as all the others, as he was the same size as the others, and the same color as one of them. The others succumbed between the ages of 1 and 2 (they were 3 months old when they found me in December 2003): Caramel died on

I want to thank everyone for their care concern for the kittens and Mom I posted about. If I had a spare room or something I could at least keep the one kitten who is being sent to the sanctuary tomorrow (that we don't want it to go to) but I don't even have a room to put it in temporarily, I'm
