In 2008 I rescued a litter of kittens. All of them were positive
except one. He tested negative, and retesting has shown he is still
negative. Since he is negative and his immune system beat the virus
his litter mates (all gone now) had does this mean he is now immune
to FelV?

Hi Julie.I hope you're feeling a little more upbeat this morning after the
good advice from the list yesterday. We can certainly relate to your anxiety.
We adopted a brother and sister at 12 weeks, and after overcoming some
socialization issues, we took them to be spayed/neutered at 6 month
Hi,
I think you are referring to Toxoplasmosis, I too wondered if perhaps Julie
was misinformed and that was what she was referring to as I know of no
reasons that any human being around an FELV+ cat is a problem.
For anecdoctal value, I am somewhat immune compromised and have cared for a
Toxo+ c
Oops, correction, people are often misinformed by their human doctors. My
vet said she can't believe some of the things people tell her that their
have doctors told them.

Everyone's posts have really helped me, though I am still so worried about
both Max and Maggie. It seems like I'm hypervigilant to everything he
does. He sneezed twice in 24 hours and I'm freaked out. It's amazing how
attached we can get to these furry peop

Hi everyone. Max has had really soft stool for the past 24 hours and Maggie
had a little bit of diarrhea with blood on it this morning (she's the one
who tested negative). They can't give Maggie the vaccination today bc of
the diarhea but will test max with the ifa. I'm creaking out. I'm bringing
Interesting question. I guess that answer would be, it depends. If he was
exposed to the virus, and he probably was given the close contact litter
mates have, it is possible he has developed an immunity. To the best of my
knowledge, vets do not currently measure antibody titers to felv - not su
