Any cat can be anemic. It's just much more serious for felv cats because it is
often nonregenerative. In my opinion IF I could afford it, and IF your cat
handles the stress of the vet ok, I would get the transfusion and see a
specialist. Buy some time, in other words.

Buzz has a red blood count of 8, the vet says it should be 30. She gave him a
steriod shot. She says we could choose to give him a transfusion but that
would only be a temporary fix and very expensive. He also has a bad heart
murmer. Right now I am just trying to by time to look into

The cost of a transfusion varies greatly. You might want to check around. It
is my understating that receiving a transfusion is not painful.

Please forgive my ignorance, but I thought it was just something that happens
with FeLV+ kitties. Isn't the FeLV the reason?

Many things can cause anemia in positives and negatives, just
because a cat is positive and becomes anemic doesn't mean the reason for
it shouldn't be sought and treated. One likely cause for a cat to
