This not a bother. I too am on SS, at poverty level and have a problem feeding
6 cats and myself. One help I get is volunteering at th senior center in town
- I get my one big meal free for working there. In the evening it is fruit and
cereal. I keep my fingers crossed that my van keeps work
Sure would be nice if one of us could win a couple of million. I would even
take in dumped children if I could. But the law won't let me do that and on SS,
I barely keep myself and 6 cats going. Seems the rich get richer and animal
lovers get poorer.

Especially if one or two are adoptd together and no other cats are in the home,
should be easy. Even if Neg cats in the home, just get them vaccine for FELV
and should be okay. I had 2 POS cats with 5 NEG. One Pos passed but Annie is
still with us, healthy as can be and as long as the others
I kept my Felv kittens. Keeping them segregated from the other cats in the
home.

Hi Lee,
I tried to send you a private email, but I guess it went astray. If you could email me privaely with Karen's full name and a delivery address, I can help with food.

Kudos to your vet. I was lucky to have a great vet when I found my 1st FeLV
cat. She never even mentioned euthanizing. She just laid out a plan for
integrating them into the household.
If the IFA is negative he could still throw off the virus.
In my experience most cats born with FeLV do not li

The Lysine powder for cats can actually come in flavors. The gel is not bad
tasting at all, either. In fact I wouldn't mind taking it. I sprinkle the
powder on the dry food & they have no problem with it.

Hi. I have had experience with three FeLv+ cats turning to negative. You
have to keep them for about 3 months, then retest with the SNAP non
heartworm test. I had no idea that the three way test can cause a false
positive. Anyway, have him retested with a fresh SNAP test and if it's
negative,
I can sure empathize with your friend, my bf and I care for over 20
colonies. The rescue bills over the years have taken any credit we can
find, we have no money for a home (health/dental etc) for ourselves, and
our daily lives completely hinge on the weather and our colonies, not to
mention work,

Hi Shelley -
First of all, thanks for giving this guy a chance & not immediately putting him
down.
1) A negative IFA does NOT mean the cat is not FeLV positive. It simply means
the virus is not replicating in his bone marrow.
If a cat has a positive SNAP test, he is still positive.
