Re: [Felvtalk] FeLV
first of all, find out if she is really positive. the test for FeLV is only for antigens/exposure--she really needs to be retested with an IFA test about 90 days after her last possible exposure. 70% of cats will test negative after their bodies process out the virus, and it's been noted in the literature for many years not to accept a single test result but to do a confirmatory test. why that is consistently forgotten is unknown, but it kills many cats. additionally, since only 30% of unvaccinated cats continue to test positive--and some percentage of those never become symptomatic and are not contagious, most truly negative cats (you can't really trust a negative test either, and should test a second time for ALL cats, but denial works much less expensively) don't ever become positive anyway. the currently available vaccines are highly effective since so few adult cats are actually at risk. there are no documented cases of truly negative, vaccinated, cats exposed to truly positive cats where a negative cat ever remains viremic if it does indeed test positive for exposure. you can post looking for new homes at www.adopt.bemikitties.com. -- Spay & Neuter Your Neighbors!

Re: [Felvtalk] Bugsy Please add the the CLS :(
Sherry, I was saddened to read that Bugsy has crossed the Rainbow Bridge. He sounds like a wonderful boy. And he had 3 wonderful years being loved and cared for. So glad you were able to tell him you loved him his last night.
