I live in Los Angeles and can suggest two vets:
Overland Vet Clinic 310.559.2424. They are in the Palms/Culver City area.
Veterinary Care Center 323.919.. Hollywood area.
My cats go to Overland and all of their vets are very helpful and kind.
They helped us with Polli, our FeLV+ kitty.
All
tell me more about Petinic and transfer factor?

Hello Katherine,
I definitely have to back Heather here. Pale gums and eating litter are
very indicative of anemia. Earlier this year, our sweet girl Polli,
started licking walls and clay planters. She slowly lost interest in her
toys and food. By the time I took her to the vet, she was severe
I've been getting messages, though very sporadically. I'll get some right
away but most I get a month, sometimes two, late. Not sure what's going on.

Like others who have replied, I have worked with cat rescues and have
personal experiences w/ FeLV. I trust ELISA and IFA results if done
properly. However, I wouldn't run a PCR test. I feel this test is
EXTREMELY sensitive and any sort of mishandling will result in an
untrustworthy result. One

frantically called my boyfriend. He went out to see what was wrong and
came back, worried. He told me I needed to come check something out.
Concerned, I went into the foyer and frantically running around and mewing

Hi everyone,
We took Polli in to a new vet today to get something new to treat her URI.
She had a bad reaction to Clavamox and we were looking for a new vet who
would be more aggressive and open minded with her treatments.
We found a great vet, one I used to go to when I lived on the other side
Karen,
I'm sorry to hear of Penny's passing. Your touching email made me cry.
Thank you for taking her in and doing all you could to find her good home.
Her time on earth was short, but thanks you, it was filled with love. If
only all FeLV kitties could be so lucky.
Sincerely,

Her anemia isn't really understood; it comes and goes so I'm wary of the
"non regenerative anemia" diagnosis. I'm not sure if her recent problems
are related to anemia or to the URI. We're looking for a new vet at the
moment. As soon as I know more, I'll let you all know.

Lance,
Callie is definitely in my thoughts and prayers and is Ember and you.
Hopefully, her immune system will step up and kick some FeLV butt. Adult
cats have such an easier time kicking that nasty virus. I've read tons of
stories through this forum and have experience with positives mixing wi
I know everyone wishes her (and you) the very best,

Hi everyone!
Please send some good energy to my Polli. She's have a rough few days and
I'm not sure she'll come out of this. She was diagnosed with severe anemia
back at the beginning of March. She rebounded but not completely.
Recently, her breathing has become a bit more labored. We also noti

his final days. Thank you for all you did for him. I'm sure he'd thank you
if he could =)

You and Bubba are in my thoughts, Beth. I hope he recovers soon!

because she had a bad bout of fleas and was extremely anemic. Getting rid
of her fleas was a long process but she's an indoor cat and we were

Hi Everyone!
I have two questions today regarding FeLV.
First, for anyone who has worked in the rescue world, what is your testing
protocol? I volunteer w/ several cat/kitten rescues in Los Angeles. I
recently found a litter in my garage and they're staying in my guest room
until I can find a f
Deborah,
First of all, thank you for fostering! You and your daughters provided an
invaluable service for your local HS.
I'm sorry your first fostering experience has been tainted by FeLV. Please
understand that FeLV isn't an automatic death sentence though cats and
kittens who are positive usu
Lance,
I'm definitely keeping you and Ember in my thoughts! I hope her procedure
tomorrow goes well and you get some good news.
Best,

Dear Catherine,
I'm so sorry to hear of Meowko's passing. She sounded like a wonderful
kitty. During her short time on earth, she was loved and loved you and
your family in return. Please take comfort in knowing what a great life
you provided for her and the loving companionship you and Meowko
Yes! I actually have heard of RetroMAD1. I believe it's currently only
available in Malaysia and is still in the trial stages. It sounds very
promising but would be rather difficult to get ahold of in the States... if
you're in the States, of course. Like LTCI, there isn't a lot of

Hi Beth,
I, too, looked into LTCI from Tcyte when I found out my ten month old
kitten, Polli, was FeLV+. We have a vet and a very experienced vet tech,
both of which work in cat only clinics, in the family. When I asked for
their opinions, neither one of them had heard of LTCI but said it a very
Thanks again for the responses. I'm not sure if my original reply has been
posted yet or not. Fortunately, Polli decided she liked food again late
Thursday night and has regained her appetite somewhat. She's extremely thin
now but is active and "assisting" me with cleaning and gardening. She als
I'm so sorry to hear about Napoleon's loss! Though his life was cut short,
I'm happy to know he experienced nothing but love and kindness from you and
your friend.
Choosing to take care of an FeLV+ cat is a difficult decision; we know
we're setting ourselves up for heartbreak as well as vet bills
