It's obvious that after so many years, there are still too many questions
about FeLV! Between all of us, we could probably fill a book with different
scenarios!

My $0.02 is that you have all the right reasoning.

I would just emphasis that we never know what may happen in the future, to

things will happen too. And the experience of opening one's home and heart

I know it can't be proven; but when they are born with it, they are usually
sickish and die soon - most don't make it past a few months (that I have know

I disagree that "if she is 5 mos old and has been diagnosed withFeLV, she
must not have been born with it." I don't see how that could ever be
proven. All kittens/cats have immune systems that can breakdown at different
times. Here is my experience:

I've been told the sameIFA test if cat has ever had a positive ELISA
(snap) test. I have been told by my vet that 6 mos is safe to say that if it

cat/kitten receives a positive IFA test, then it's infected for life.

If she is 5 months old and has been diagnosed with FeLV, she must not have been

What is the sequence of testing for FeLeuk cats? Sabrina had the snap

first IFA should be done. I read somewhere 3 months after the snap

now. We are

You don't have to wait 3 weeks to do an IFA test. I believe you can do it
now. Here is a link that you can have them read, it is helpful...

Since she is still a kitten her chances of clearing the virus is lower than
if she was an adult. My kitten tested n
And remember, even with FeLV neg cats we never know how long we will have them
either. There are many people who lose their "healthy" cats to all kinds of
things. I have seen many people's FeLV kitty outlive their neg kitty! :)

The only thing you left out is felv can be beaten. The cat throws off the virus
on its own or it gets help from a human.
