Hi! I am a foster mom for a high kill shelter in Philly. I am fostering
my 3rd litter which was my first litter of bottle feeders. I've spent the
past 24 hours researching like crazy online and trying to talk to others
with experience but really getting a lot of contradicting information.
The
I wish I could you give you something more definite - but the truth is you just
don't know - I know of many people whose kittens became negative later on, but
also know many who remained positive.
I have one felk kitty, Ginger, I have had her since she was 6 months old - now
she is 8 years old
Thanks so much for the quick reply. What is LTCI and where would I go to
get it? I'm sure the shelter wouldnt cover it but I have a big network of
supportive volunteer friends who I believe would step up and help out if I
asked for help covering something financially that could help them. I
PS- I dont know if this link will work but here is the album of photos of
my sweet foster babies. Gerty, Jean and Henry.

I had one kitten flip from FIV+ to no FIV. I had two adult cats flip from
FeLv+ to no FeLv. Especially in kittens, it's very possible that in two
months, when re-tested, they will be negative. As for your cats
eating/drinking or being near the kittens, that shouldn't be an issue. It's
not
Hi Jamielynn:
I adopted a cat from ACCT last year without knowing they do not test unless
requested by the adopter. My cat turned out to be FELV+ she was with my other
cats for a week. My vet wanted me to put her to sleep but I couldn't. I
contacted the Best Little Cat House near Pittsburg

ACCT is exactly where I am fostering these guys for- so upsetting that they
dont test. I as well assumed it was done. They will only test if
requested by the foster home yet they dont educate the foster homes that
its something they need to ask for. I understand as bottlefeeders the test
With kittens there is very good chance they will come back negative. My girl
Spicey was 10 months old and had been at the shelter for almost two months. I
had her tested again and it was found that the Leukemia was in her bone. I'm
just thankful that any new addition I always take to my vet
Jamie,
How old are the other cats that are actually yours? If they are not real young
and are not senior's, they more than likely will not contract the disease even
though they were exposed. But since you have a big heart in helping other fur
babies, then it won't hurt to vaccinate your cat(s)
