Natalie,
It could be that Mr. Tux had the FeLV virus but it was dormant. When it is
dormant they won't test positive on either test and they can't spread it.
Maybe the stress of changing homes re-activated the virus. If that was the
case then none of your cats have been exposed to it. Let's
Yes, alwsys retest on a positive SNAP test, but there seems to be a lot of
people who think a negstive IFA means the cat is negative. Thats just as scary
as people not understanding to always retest a positive.

Marinda, we all understand how devastated you are. I've lost 10 FeLV +
kitties. All I can recommend is to feed the best food you can, give lots of
love, watch for other illnesses and treat them immediately. There is no cure.
Many including myself have tried various supplements. I can't say

the ELISA was a false positive, which means that ideally, one should retest

Yes, that is correct. A positive Elisa & a negative IFA means the Cat IS
positive, the virus is just not replicating in the bone marrow yet. That's why
I worry when people get so excited about a negative IFA. It really only means
the cat may still throw off the virus.
It's strange your vet didn'
They can be free of symptoms, still be carriers that can pass it on,

There are cats who test positive who are not and cats who test negative who are
not. The tests in general are not very reliable. However, I have had quite a
lot of experience with cats who tested positive for FeLV. Taco and Smooch were
two who tested positive for both FeLv and FIV. They live

OK - I guess this is where I should come in and explain about what happened

My cat Moses tested positive for FeLv. Since I have many other cats, I
isolated him in a room in my house, retested three months later and he tested
negative. That was about 6 years ago. He's still going strong and happy. If

Where are you in South Africa?..I'm guessing that there like everywhere else
you can get better opinions where there are more vets..like for example, large
cities.
FeLV is not a death sentence and like you have been told they can live good

My darling ginger cat has been diagnosed with feline leukemia. I am devastated
because the vet says that there is nothing he can do to help us. We try our
uttermost best to feed our cat but don't know what to do to help our darling.
Is there some kind of medication that we could recommend to our
