Yes, thsnk you and your group for roling with the punches and taking on the
task of fostering and finding a home for an FeLV+ cat. Let me offer a glimmer
of hope -- We recently had a handsome Siamese boy tesrt FeLV+ We figured we
would have to send him to Michael at Second Chance Meows (thank
Frank,
I will pray for Casper to be negative. I hope you are able to resolve his
illness quickly. I mixed my cats none of the negatives became positive. Some
of them had exposure to Felv before I knew what was going on. So they
probably had a natural immunity. But fate added two more after this al
Hello everyone, it's been a while since I posted to this list but I read
everything that's going on.
I now have two FeLV+ cats. I lost my first positive cat to anemia in November
of 2008. When he came into my home and tested positive I finally decided to
mix my positives and negatives. Before
I just wanted to say how much I commend you and your rescue group for not
making euthanasia an option! that is soo heartening to hear! I hope the
perfect solution comes together for you both.

I've had lots of success using Program for ringworm. I've used it twice:
this year and several years ago for groups of four or more cats. The dosage
suggestions can be found at this website:

I know lots of people might not agree that this is an effective treat
Hi Trish! I mix my FeVL
Cats with my negative cats. I have for years with no problem. I simply
vaccinate my negatives every 6 months. I am so happy to know your group has
decided to give this kitty a chance. So many rescues simply euthanize them.

Consider another FeLV+ cat if adoption takes too long. You can save a
life, help both cats live happily and well, two are always
easier than one.

Hi,
My foster kitty, Zelda, has been diagnosed FeLV+ (snap test and IFA). I am
seeking advice on the best way to care for Zelda, who is about a year old and
has no symptoms, and also looking for resources and ideas for adoption. She has
had extensive bloodwork, and our vet says she is an other
Both of my babies are due for check-ups and I had them run estimates on titres
and shots etc. I personally believe that vaccinations should be reserved for
when they're needed medically. I have signed legal waivers in the past to
forgo the rabies shots for my boys. But when cost is an issue,
You can have titre tests done to check the level of antibody in the cat's
system. I would say just forgo the vaccinations and/or titres if you are sure
that the cat won't be hospitalized or boarded. Many vet hospitals and boarding
facilities will not allow an animal to be admitted without proof
My clinic switched to the Purevax a few years ago because they'd been getting a
LOT of reactions to the 3 year shot.

his life, doing what pleases him, and making me smile."
PureVax makes a rabies vaccine with no adjuvant. That is what I get my cats.
It's more expensive and it lasts only one year instead of 3, but is supposed to
have no risk of vaccine-associated sarcoma so I think it is worth it.
I only revaccinate yearly because my town has cat licensing AND I am
I have asked my vet for a pass on vaccinations, my youngest is 8 yrs
old and they have had enough vaccinations to be good for life. I also
have several with health issues. She has OK'd it and so far no problems.

Thoughts: Your vet (at least in KY) can certify that the cat is not
able to be vaccinated safely. There are pros and cons. I've done
this with one cat and one dog.
There is a homeopathic remedy, thuja (sp??) that used before and after
the vaccination helps. Copper and Thomas had problem
I don't currently have any FeLv+ cats. I am wondering what others do about
vaccinating non FeLV+ cats.
Some of my cats are older (12/13) and some have health issues ( asthma,
pancreatitis, allergies). I really hate to vaccinate these guys for anything
(including rabies).
Rabies is required but
