My 1 year kitten was diagnosed with FeLV back in Oct. She has never tested positive with either blood test, only with bone marrow aspiration after she got real sick at 20 weeks of age. As of now she is showing no signs of FeLV, just a low normal blood test. To look at her you would and the

There is a FIV vax.  The issue is any cat who the FIV vaccine will show up positive on any future FIV/FeLV ELISHA test.  Any cat who gets the FIV vax should also be microchipped so the owners can clarify the cat is NOT FIV positive just vaccinated.     Sharyl

If you are worried about exposing your negative cats to FELV, then I would insist on the IFA, then you would not be second guessing yourself all the time and still have that worry in the back of your mind. Jannes Taylor jannestay...@yahoo.com wrote: Hello to all, Three months ago I

Wow, that's great news that she's tested negative. I'm so happy for you. For my own peace of mind, I would insist on an IFA test before integrating her into my household. If your vet won't do it, there's probably another vet around who will. Cindy - Original Message - From: Jannes

I am so releived she tested negative. I think maybe I have read too much sometimes. All the upstairs cats have been vaccinated against felv so that helps even though I know it is not 100. I am going to think about this today and view all the opinions. Thanks!  Jannes

Why not have fencing on concrete? I would think that would prevent anything from digging under the fence. I can see putting it below ground level so nothing digs under. You also need to put a row of shingles over the wire. When the racons, etc start digging, they run into the shingles and
