Yes, I am over cautious also. A real worrier, so your answers have helped me.
My daughter’s boss took in this stray cat, brought him to the vet for 
treatment, shots etc..
The boss is going away for a week, and asked if I could keep the cat during 
that time.
I have a cat garderie, but I never mix the cats, they have their own room. 
I said, « yes, of course »
It is « later »that my daughter phoned to tell me he is positive for 
feline leukemia.
My daughter said that the vet said, just don’t put him with any other cats, and 
he needs his own food bowls. So I agreed, but started to worry!!
But your answers have definitely helped. I’ll probably be over cautious
But I think that would be better!

Hi again Theresa,

I am not understanding the circumstances.  Was the cat left at a vet clinic?
Is your daughter’s friend adopting him?  If so, send the toys along with him to 
his home.
If he seems OK health-wise, other than testing positive, he could live for 
years and be happy and a wonderful companion.
Also, sometimes there are false positives on tests, so usually a second test if 
done or a different type of test, like an IFA test.

I guess to clarify, for the virus to be transmitted through the cats sharing 
food or mutually grooming,
it would be after a long period of time where the cats are in direct contact 
with each other.
And even then, the chances are on the lower side.  As Amani said, her cats have 
lived together for 
years with no transmission.

I think keeping him separate since he will be with you for just the week, and 
doing the basic hand washing, etc like i mentioned,
should suffice.  I tend to be a worrier regarding germs, viruses, so am 
probably more cautious in general.

I have had feral and dump cats for over 40 years, including 4 FELV cats.  I 
have never had to wash anything when one of them passed.  None of my FELV 
negative cats ever contracted the disease and all have died of old age 
including Annie who was FELV and over 10 years.  They eat from the same bowls, 
sleep on the same beds.  It has to do with the age of the cts.  If your cts are 
under 1 year, they are more likely to contract the disease because their imune 
system is not as strong.

Thank you, that is one of the best answers I’ve received. I won’t do this 
again, because
I take care of other’s cats. However, for this time, the cat will be in his own 
room, he’ll have special toys I’ll throw out after, I’ll play with him, and 
brush him, poor thing. 
I’ll wash my hands and change clothes, it may be fanatic, but whatever..
However, after he leaves, I’ll wash everything, and give the room and floor a 
big cleaning. So all should be well,
I promised my daughter,
But I won’t do it again.
Thank you for the great answer!!! 
Poor cat, it is so sad.

Re: [Felvtalk] Question

2017-11-22 Thread Gloria
Immune system plays a huge part-usually mature cats have a vibrant immune 
system, it’s the very young or older cats that would be more at risk, IMO.
Also, the FeLV cat’s immune system is compromised, I believe, so contact with 
other cats would be something to consider for the health of the FeLV diagnosed 
cat.
I have a cat diagnosed in 2010, that I strongly feel beat the virus-(answer to 
Prayer) he was older when I found him, the vet guessing him to be around 1 year 
old.
We keep him in our guest room with a modified door so he “participates” in the 
hall/house activities and the room is ventilated.
I will not take him to the vet unless he becomes ill-keeping the STRESS down so 
no testing! 
My practice is to wash my hands with alcohol and or soap for 20 seconds
before & after I’m in his room. I keep his dishes sterile, no shared food or 
water or containers- but that’s about it.
Now- this is my practice and everyone needs to follow his/her own inner voice 
on this matter- just sharing - not pushing an agenda. lol

As I said – I had a cat in with at least 8 other cats for 7 years with no 
transmission. They shared food and water bowls, beds, grooming, playing, 
biting, scratching - the whole nine yards. I don’t think it is particularly 
contagious with older cats.

Actually, Feline Leukemia can also be transmitted through ‘friendly’ contact.  
Sharing food/water and grooming each other over a period of time.
The virus only lives for a few hours in the environment, so really just 
cleaning out the food/water bowls and litter box after the cat leaves
should suffice, and check to see if any wet spots on floor,  etc. from water or 
urine and disinfect just to be on the safe side.

You might want to have different shoes on too?  and clothes, if you will be 
playing with and handling the cat a lot, in case drools on you…but that might be
going overboard.  Definitely wash hands after handling...

despite the fact that our vet initially said that the infection would decimate

My take on this disease is that FeL is transmitted by direct contact with blood 
or saliva from the infected cat. The FeLV is transmitted primarily through a 
bite.

Subject: [Felvtalk] Question

I have three cats, and take care of other people’s cats.
My daughter’s friend has a FeLV positive cat, can I keep her in a separate room 
for a week, do I have to wash all the linens and clean the room, after the cat 
goes back home?  It’s because I take care of other  friend’s cats also and want 
to know if they can catch
The disease.
