I could be way out there, but worry if she could have a fluid accumulation in
the chest impacting her breathing. An X-ray or ultrasound would probably be
needed to determine that. I am very sorry for what you and little Cali are
going through, I know it is both painful and frustrating...and as

You should definitely have her chest X-rayed. Her symptoms sound a bit like my

healthy almost year after being diagnosed!

I rescued my cat, Buddy, from a thicket behind a parking lot when he was 5
weeks old. I took him to the vet the day after I rescued him and he tested
positive.
Well, the vet told me to euthanize him - I did not like that at all. So as
Buddy was clutching my shirt, I yelled at the vet

Natalie,
Just a note of caution, a mom cat can test negative and still have
positive babies. Happened to me. Also, if they are tested
immediately upon rescue, there can be false negatives because the
virus is still incubating and hasn't had time to show up yet. Also
happened to me. Even if a

I agree. Our vet never suggests euthanasia, but does tell me
the possible outcome with a FelV pos. cat.

a 2nd opinion wouldn't be a bad thing. ALL living creatures die, regardless of
any specific viral status.
1. Did they use the 3-way [felv fiv heartworm] elisa test? This test has a
history of large numbers of false positives.
2. is Sasha vaccinated for FeLV? what's her approx age? If she's an
Hi Cathy,
I feel your pain - when my Missy was diagnosed with severe congenital heart
disease, I thought I would die. But they all die of something,
unfortunately, and I think the special health kitties are the most special
in other ways.
We have a wonderful lady on this list who volunteers in

that died of a stroke when he was 12. I say let her live, enjoy her and don't
end her life before her time.

Thanks Kelley,
When we adopted Sasha, she had been tested and vaccinated when we adopted her.
We had her tested again yesterday and she was still negative.
I live in a two bedroom apartment, so it's really hard to keep them separated
unless we adopt out Sasha. I don't really want to do
That is ridiculous - the healthy cat has already been exposed to the sick
cat - to immediately killing the sick one is radical and, I would add,
stupid and ignorant of the vet to even suggest! Which test was used, do you
know?
I am sure that you will get great advice from this group - I am not

Cathy I came to this site in the same manner. My kitten was 9 months when he
died and my vet said to put my others down immediately. I was shocked! My

Hi Kathy!
I live in north Dallas area. I fostered a 3 mos old kitten, then adopted it
later after I had him neutered. I got him from the local Humane Society. He
was fine one day and was gone the next. He was very, very sick but his FeLV
snap test (ELISA) came back a faint positive. My other
Cathy, you have already gotten some good advise. I've rescued several FeLV
kittens and treasured the time I had with them. They enjoyed 1 to 4+ years of
being pampered and loved. I mixed my positives and negatives but my negatives
were all adult cats and current on their FeLV vaccine.
