Hi, What groups have you been in contact with? I live in the Detroit Metro area and, while I don't know of any groups that take in Felv+ cats, I do have a great vet who is supportive regarding the treatment of my Felv+ cat is the medical director of my local shelter. I can contact her office to

The Frontline Plus dosage is .5 ml for cats/kittens over 8 weeks of age. I use a small glass vial to hold the liquid and a syringe to apply the Frontline Plus. The application works great with the syringe. My cats don't fuss at all as they did when I used the applicator provided by Merial.

From what I've read I believe that they only give the drug IM once per month. They did not mention following a protocol like the one for the IV administration. About a week after my first email they did sent this information: Hi Linda, Here is some more input from one of our staff vets.

I want to thank everyone for their great ideas! I'm going to talk to my vet about them and see what she can do without putting Boo under completely. I don't see why we can't do a lancing and stiches without putting him under anesthesia. But I guess it depends on what my vet is willing to do.
