I'm desperate as well. I have one that might be positive and it breaks my
heart. I gave birth
Wow! I've never heard of a FeLV test getting lighter and lighter each time.
Do you know if the vet that is testing her is using blood with the ELISA
test or tears? I know using blood for testing is more accurate. You may also
should have the vet do an IFA test as well, just to be certain. She
Wow, my orange/white kitty had it as well. What's up with that color, or is

I've heard and read that testing for FeLV using tears and saliva is very

lucky to have you!! This past March I lost a 9 mos. old kitten to Felv that

Jannes, your husband is on his way! Look at what he has already done. I bet
he likes Amber more than you realize.
I'm glad I found this site as well. It's great to communicate with a bunch

Positive on the ELISA, but NEG on the IFA test usually means that the virus
is in the early stages. Poppy's immune system still has a chance of clearing
