It's not uncommon in Kentucky for shelters/rescues to just vaccinate the cat
instead of testing them.
Lately, all I have done is fight to get them to test the animals. Apparently
it costs too much - but I think the cost is worth saving other cats from
getting exposed to FeLV.

I'd say if any aged cat tests consistantly positive multiple times on any
test, it is positive (faint or otherwise).

more). See what happens.

tuna or mackerel (supplemented with Nutri-Cal so the cat gets all their
