Soon as I can get some one to hook up this new printer scanner I am going to send Tom's picture and a new ad on him. This computer doesn't seem to recognize the new printer for some reason.
Tom is so sweet. He lays on the kitchen floor in the morning waits for you to give him some wet food. He
Yes, Tonya,
Samson was tested before Tom came up. He is negative. He just turned three a couple weeks ago. the other three are also negative. Tom is the only positive. We have also been on the Stomastitis site. Kitties with that does seem to have felv, but Samson tested negative. I believe he
Barbara,
When they pulled his teeth, did they remove the roots too? Many vets
do not because it is a lot of work and if they don't the problem does
not resolve. My positive Bailey went through the exact same thing last
year, we tried everything. Acupunture, holistic, antibiotics, nothing
I hope you can find a home for him. I hope Samson gets better with his stomasititis as well. I haven't had to deal with that one yet. (knock on wood) But I have a couple who have 'bad teeth' and have had to have quite a few pulled even though they're relatively young.

Yes, I have had all kinds. Also good news. The other day at the Vet's
the Doctor told me that he is seeing a lot less positive cats than he
has seen in previous years.
Hi again, I had one that lived 10+ yrs. They use to say that positive
cats did not live past age 3yrs. You must remember that some cats that
test positive could be carriers. I have had some die of things that go

My room mate I have really been worried about Samson. All are up to date on their shots. Tom was given shots too, except for the felv one. My vet did it for free. His wife is with animal trustee. He was also worried about Samson.

If Tom has already been with your other cats IF there is to be any damage done it's probably already done. My first positive cat lived with 12 others about 6 months before I knew she was positive. At that time I didn't bother to separate. She lived about 7 years and wasn't separated even

It was my Vet of 40 years that told me that. Tom had the IFA test. That is the one where it is in the bone marrow. He said they usually live about three years and Tom is about a year a half.
Did you have the IFA test? If so, I am amazed that Bailey is 20. I am also surprised that none of

If they are already living together there is especially no reason to
find Tom a home, your cats have already been exposed. Like I said if
they have all been vaccinated and are in decent health, there is little
to no chance they will become infected. I won't go as far as to say
Much of the time kittend arn't tested until they become
sick and normal antibiotics don't work as expected...At this point the
death rate is high...but many cats are positive but becouse they arn't

You just don't know how all that has put my mind at ease. I have been so worried about Tom that I was unable to sleep at night. I was going on only what my vet told me until I got on this site a couple days ago. I have heard so many positive things about felve cats. He is such a great cat
I doubt if your other kitties will get it. Like I said, I use daily

You should not take away from all this that most positive cats

I don't think there is any way that Meowser gave our other kitty felv. They never were even in contact. We kept Meowser in the basement. The vet also believes that Killian also had it before. She told me that it's not very easy for it to be passed to another cat especially without ever

You have no idea how long Tom has, and neither does

I would think, in Austin, you might be able to find an FELV home, either
singly or with others FELV cats. However, please be aware that the virus
is not a very hearty, and lots of veterinarians have different
