sANDY, NEVER APOLIGISE.  ANYTHING WE LEARN FROM ONE ANOTHER IS TO OUR GAIN.  I 
HAVE HAD 2 POSITIVE FELV CATS.  ONE DIED AFTER ABOUT 2 YEARS, BUT SHE HAD MANY 
OTHER ISSUES INCLUDING A RACCON BITING OFF HER TAIL.  ANNIE IS STIL FIT AS A 
FIDDLE AND GIVING EVERYONE ELSE FITS.  THE OTHERS ARE ALL VACCINATED AGAINST 
FELV AND SO FAR, ALL END UP DYING OF OLD AGE, USUALLY 18  OR SO.  i THIN THAT 
GIVING THEM LOTS OF LOVE, GOOD FOOD AND MEDICAL TREATMENT WHEN NEEDED COUNTS 
FOR SO MUCH.  KEEP ON ADOPTING, YOUR LIFE WILL BE FULL.

Re: [Felvtalk] introduction

Sandy,

It is so good to hear some FeLV success stories.  Thank you.  We trapped our 
Sundae last year.  She was living in our yard and we brought her in at about 12 
weeks.  She has been on interferon for about a year now, and so far she’s good. 
 I take her for a wellness check up every three months.  I am hopeful that her 
immune system is built up enough for her to stay strong.  We also have 3 cats 
who are not FeLV+  we vaccinated them after they were exposed to Sundae (long 
story) but we had them tested twice and they are healthy.  My fur kids mean the 
world to my husband and I.  It’s so nice to hear of other cats living 
reasonably long lives.

Best,

Mary

Re: [Felvtalk] Such a short little life

[Mercy Cats]

Elisabeth,
Please try to take comfort in the knowledge that Nanita would not have had any 
life without you and your husband.  She had people who loved her, and that is 
the most important thing.  You're very special.  It's been almost five years 
since our Harley died at around 18 months of age.  He too was full of mischief 
and loved playing crazy cat.  It still breaks my heart to think of his loss, 
but I'll never regret adopting him.  Harley stuffed a lot of life and love into 
that year and a half.
  All three of you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Sharon

[Felvtalk] introduction

[Sandy Noneofyourbusiness]

Hi everyone! I am new here so if I do something wrong, let me know. This kind 
of group is set up different than what I am used to.
My male friend moved back to Wisconsin, from Tucson, AZ back in 2012. He 
brought with him ‘9’ of his cats. ALL had FeLV. Shortly after he moved here, 5 
of his cats died.(stress and fleas) A friend of his had to have brought them 
over with him when he was visiting.
We were friends back in the mid 70’s, and we ended up dating and now we have 
been living together for about a 
1 1/2 yrs. I had a FeLV free cat and 2 dogs. It was a HARD decision but all I 
could do is vaccinate my cat for FeLV and pray he does not get it.(it is about 
75% effective?)
Anyway, what I was going to say, that cats having FeLV is not a death sentence, 
so do not count on them to be dying early. One cat of my boyfriend’s,(Clyde) 
was 13 yrs. old before he died. 
Right now we have Oliver(4 years 4 mos.), Diamond(9 yrs. 10 months),Dora 
Jean(10 yrs. 4 mos.),Sheila(4 yrs.) and Wilma(3 yrs. 6 mos.). I also have 2 
dogs, Ryder(8 yrs. 6 mos.) and last but not least, Ozzie(12 yrs. 8 mos.). 
ALL cats are healthy and always have been, so far. Diamond does have a tumor in 
his throat(ear) area that just doing surgery would most likely kill him from 
stress.(it is not FeLV related) So as long as he eats and has no pain and no 
other issues, we will keep him alive. He is a very happy cat.  
My oldest dog,Ozzie, might have blastomycosis.(2nd dog of mine that has had it) 
The vet should be letting me know today/tomorrow. Since he is so old, I will 
not treat him and just put him to sleep.(UGH!) He also has an enlarged heart. 
So I may have to make that tough decision that we ALL hate.
Sorry this is so long, just wanted to do an intro.

Elisabeth,
Thank-you so much for sharing your story.  I too have Felv + kitty of 6 mos.  
We’ve nicknamed him Slayer of Dragons!  We’re all having so much fun with him.  
I do keep in the back of my mind that his life will be short.  Trying like hell 
to just enjoy the moments I have with him.  So sorry for your loss.  
In Sympathy,
Debi Kraal

Re: [Felvtalk] Such a short little life

[Lance]

I am sorry to read this, Elisabeth. I’ve always loved the busy ones and 
mischief makers. You did all that you could for her. That’s clear from your 
first post. In her own way, Nanita knew this, too. Take care.

Lance

I am so sorry to hear that Elisabeth.  I suffered a similarly painful loss
back in June and I can only say that grieve as much as you need to, and
don't apologize for it.  The pain lessens with time.   <3

[Felvtalk] Such a short little life

[Elisabeth Eastley]

It is with the greatest sadness that I have to say that out little Nanita
passed away last night. She was just over a year old and had developed
lymphoma which grew quite quickly. Most of her life was spent getting up to
mischief and her nickname was Troublemaker. She was her Daddy's girl and
lived her life to the fullest. She was a happy and affectionate little
girl. Her loss leaves a hole that will never be filled.

Thank you to everyone who replied to my question.

With kindest regards

Elisabeth
