[Felvtalk] Spaying advice

[Maryam Ulomi]

Hello everyone,

We are looking at possibly spaying Kitty, our 5 months old FeLV rescued feral 
baby. She is currently on the lysine and living large in her own room, isolated 
from our other two cats, since she posted positive but we are retesting her at 
6months, which should be in December.
Should we retest first and then spay?
Is there anything we should know/do to prepare ?

Any suggestions are welcome

When Percy tested positive for FeLv, I waited 90 days, (3 months) then had him 
retested when he was finally neutered.  He had had other health issues too - 
slight anemia, fur problems and he is also FIV+ but that's not an issue since I 
have a small FIV+ colony in a separate indoor area.  So now he is negative for 
FeLv, neutered and living with 4 other mates.

I also have a female, Bunny who tested FeLv+ and hasn't been retested yet.  She 
tested positive when she was spayed at a no-kill shelter and fortunately, they 
didn't kill her which they usually do when a cat tests positive for FeLv.  I am 
going to retest her soon since she was with me for over 3 months already, in a 
room of her own.  She was just about a year old when she was brought to me for 
fostering so I'm hoping she has overcome the FeLv.  She gained about 100 pounds 
since she has been here and looks like a bowling ball covered with tabby fur. I 
don't see any danger in spaying your kitty either before or after testing but 
if you want to do it at the same time, it will save you a drive to the clinic 
and a second visit for the cat.


 
Spay and Neuter your cats and dogs and your weird relatives and nasty neighbors 
too!

[Felvtalk] possible pos. BIG cat looking for forever home

[tamara stickler]

Hello All,
 
I haven't posted for oh - seven years or so, not since I placed Simms with 
Anne.  But, I've recently pulled another dumped cat from the streets.  We are 
having him tested tonight to see if he is positive or negative - but something 
tells me the test might come back as a positive.  
 
I have a home lined up for him if he is clear - but if he does have felv I will 
need to either rehome or have him put down.  (I don't have even an alcove in my 
small appt. that I can put him in at the moment - positive or no   the woman 
who agreed to foster him for a few days will not do so if he tests positive.)  
Currently I am trying to find another foster or home - just in case. 
 
He's fairly young - under 2yrs.  I would say.  Sterling silver tabby - a BIG 
guy - a bit underweight for his bone structure, he still weighs in around 14 
lbs., short-haired.  Scared but not feral - sought out humans and was a regular 
at the ground level windows of condos housing other cats in the neighborhood.  
 
He has his claws, but doesn't seem to be a great hunter - he has been seen 
sitting-dozing under one neighbor's bird feeder amongst squirrels and birds on 
several occasions.
 
I'm in Maryland - but am willing to transport him for the right home.
 
If anyone is even a little interested please let me know.  Thanks!
