Regarding Amber -
Been doing more reading. By keeping Amber in the basement you're not putting
your cats at risk at all so don't feel guilty about that. One thing said 60%
of cats exposed to FeLV don't get it. 5-10% put it into a latent stage. Only
about 30% get it and die (still too many
Is there any way you could use a full-spectrum light in the basement for
Amber? I have installed fluorescent full-spectrum light for the cats in
our garage cat condos; none have been sick for years!

Thank you so much Maureen. I really appreciate you taking the time to reassure
me. I really do love little Amber and will do the best I can for her. I can't
help hoping and praying that the test was wrong and I can eventually let her
join the other kids.

Hi Sean,
Our vet just ordered LTCI directly from the company, and it was about $100
cheaper for the ten pack then the previous outside distributor.
So glad it is working for you! We've used it with our almost 7 year old

Yes, get some vitamin C crystals, and start with a small amount and build up
