Hello,
I rescued a stray two weeks ago. Took her to the vet a week ago and they said
she was FELV positive. She was starving when I found her, but she has gained
weight and is looking good. Her eyes just glisten and she seems healthy. The
vet
said she was about a year old. She only weighed six
I want to thank everyone who responded about my post regarding Amber, my FeLV
positive cat.
I have been feeling a little guilty about risking the health of my other cats
from some chance encounter with Amber. I still plan to be cautious but do feel
less stressed about it.
I have done a lot of
not. There are no guarantees that our healthy cats will be healthy
forever either, are there? Do the best you can under the circumstances!

Alice, I am so sorry to hear this about Rosie, but you are doing all you can
do, and Rosie is very lucky to have you. After rescuing a felv cat just three
weeks ago, I have learned so much just seeing all the emails that come through
regarding this dreadful disease.
I use to have indoor/outdoor cats, but now they are strickly indoor. There are
so many dangers outside such as cars, dogs, and the chance of encountering a
another cat with felv, for example. I do feel sorry for them sometimes, but I
have to say I would trade places with any one of them to live

This Sunday will be one month since I rescued Amber. I have no idea if she has
ever been spayed or not. I am guessing not...
If she hasn't, should she not be coming in heat soon? I just hope and pray she
is not pregnant.
If she does come in heat, I will get her spayed afterwards. Just waiting

I just went through this myself with Amber who tested positive for FELV four

negative. Had an IFA test done and it was negative as well.
She has joined the rest of the gang (my three other cats) and is bullying them!
Please do not give up hope. Wait the three months and have her tested again. I

out negative. The vet eluded to me having her put to sleep
