is the IFA test valid and reliable on a 12 week old kitten? If not do you
have links? I'm thinking I've heard it isn't, but can't find anything.

Katherine,
I as well tried adopting out a mom and 3 kittens. No response. I kept them
all and that was my start to a life of leuk positives. I wouldn't change it
for anything! I have a son now, though, and the constant heartbreak on him is
too much. I wish I could save these 5 but I have a
Marsha,
I would like to thank you for your suggestions, help and support. Even though
you may not agree with everything I'm saying, you have been very respectful and
helpful. It is most appreciated.

Hi all,
I'm sorry that people on this board disagree about the adoption fee and I'm
disappointed that some people are making judgmental comments. This board has
been a great source of support to my family over the years and I am not feeling
that at all at the moment. I have adopted 12 positiv
Hi Amy
Well, I can bet right now you have at least three females :).
I could never feel justified asking for fees when adopting out many special needs kittens or cats. Fortunately, I was not subject to oversight, which makes a difference. And yes, I usually had lots of
OK, I submitted my request to join (like I need another group to join,
LOL). But can't get sucked into reading right now - it's time to hang
out with Harley and Brock!

I thought it would be interesting to get yall involved in the discussion

Kelly, I think she wants to wait until they are confirmed positive with
an IFA before adopting them out to a home with other FeLV+ cats. She
did mention the hope to find homes that are familiar with FeLV.
I kept Brock quarantined from Harley until I got a positive IFA test

Marsha..sorry..when I said "I don't know what you want" I was referring to

Not directly FELV+ related, but I think it could be an important tool for
keeping up with your cats' health:

There are some other places to list on Facebook, if you would like the
links. One thing that struck me when I read your post was confusion on my
part as to what exactly you wanted. It seemed to me reading it, and I may
be reading things into this, that you did not want the kittens to go to a

Some adopters may make a donation to the organization they adopt a
zero-fee cat from. I did. You might make a cat low or no fee, but say,
"donations gratefully accepted". If you list on PetFinder, consider
adding FeLV+ to the heading, besides just listing them as "special
needs". Some peopl
I agree with Katherine. My rescue group was just happy that I was able to take
and keep 2 + kitties that otherwise would have gone to a sanctuary after their
long term fosters failed and bailed on them.
As desperate as all rescue groups are for funds, they never even suggested a
fee for either
Amy,
I wish you the best of luck in placing these kittens. I had a litter of 4
positive kittens and tried very hard to find good homes for them, with no
luck, so they lived with me until they passed away, most before they were 1
year old. It was a very busy year, but they were a lovely little group
I must not be getting all the posts. FELV+ kittens are very hard to

We altered her, vaccinated her, tested and retested her. We charged $25

I volunteer for a rescue in Rochester, NY and have also owned leukemia positive
cats (rescues) for years. We were recently contacted by somebody that adopted
out a kitten from a litter of 5 that she found outdoors. She got a call from
the adopters that the kitten tested positive and that the p
