I always mixed mine. As long as my negative was vaccinated, I didn't worry. All my FeLV+ babies are gone now, but the negatives are still negative. It's been over 5 years since we lost our last FeLV+ cat. Salome' was 9-1/2 when she died in 2005. =^..^= Terri, Siggie the Tomato Vampire,

Autumn left this world as a precious, loved and cared for being. That is so wonderful. She remains with you even though you can't see her and will visit you when the time is right. It may be as you sleep, when you are the most open to her, but don't dismiss it as a dream and enjoy

My cat Fletch was with 3 other adult cats for a year. They had never been vaccinated for felv and the bet said that Fletch was born with it. So they were exposed unknowingly for a full year, and they all tested negative. So I believe like everyone else here, it's not spread as easily as

Please do not give up hope. Wait the three months and have her tested again. I rescued a cat who was approx 3 years old who also tested positive. Three months later she tested negative. I also had an IFA test done on her which also came out negative. The vet eluded to me having her put to sleep

I guess the fact of the matter is, is that your kitten can live a very healthy life. If she tests positive, it doesn't necessarily mean that she will be chronically ill. I really think that good nutrition also plays an enormous role in keeping them healthy. It's a very tough decision. I feel
