My previous foster baby (and now adopted baby, after a couple weeks absence) who was found when he was two weeks old in a Costco parking lot and who I bottle fed and fostered from when he was three weeks old, went in for his first vet visit today. The first thing the vet did was do the FeLV/FIV

My kitten was diagnosed at around 8 weeks. He had a few minor health issues at the time and I had him treated several times with antibiotics. Since then he has had no obvious health issues. He is now a year old. I have never used any kind of supplements. My treatment has been lots of love,

I love Canada geese, they care for their babies together, with other family members babysitting, etc. - not like ducks...poor mom duck has up to 12 babies, and no mate in sight. Almost all usually are lost. -Original Message- From: felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org

I am so sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, my expertise is with FIV, and the two cats that we had who tested positive of FeLV on the combo tests, after being retested with the IFA, were both negative! How old is Jean-Luc now? Maybe it's too early to test, I now that with FIV, it is. From:

Hi Anna! Glad to have you aboard. I would make sure your older cat is vaccinated against FeLV before having them together. Even though the vaccine is 80% effective, it's better than no protection at all. The vaccine has to be given in two doses, 3 weeks apart (so don't expose your older cat

Yes, I need to find a home for my cat also who is one year old and has the FELV and I can't keep her with the other 2.  I can't seem to find a home for her.   She is a viable cat, cute and spunky and pretty, doing wonderfully right now,   other than that she has the FELV.  People don't understand
