I just wanted everyone to know that just b/c your kitty tests positive on the
ELISA, even twice, at month or more long intervals, it doesn't mean your kitty
is FeLV positive. I am seeing adoption ads for people who give the ELISA test
once, and think the kitten has to be adopted out and can't
How did you get the rescue to take them? Are they calicos or an
atypical type? I called 16 places all turned me down. I'm not the one
who abandoned these kittens my dad found, but I get treated just the
same as an owner relinquishing their cats!

The ELISA test takes a blood sample from the lower leg, and is
inexpensive. It's not that accurate, as there are false positives and
sometimes false negatives. We had 2 three month old kittens who became
negative within 1 month, and one that became negative 3 months later.
You can retest
in
contact
with another cat, test if 90-120 later than that. with the IFA
(or if
there really is a DNA/PCR test newly available, that one)
and then make the decisions.

Our vet told us to hold off on both shots and spay surgery until the
final diagnosis. It stresses their systems and makes them weak,
thereby making it harder for them to fight off the disease...

This is where a pet trust and someone to adopt your kitties in these

About a year ago, stray calico kitty that we fostered, and found a great home
for had such a bloated belly when we saw her, we thought she was pregnant! I
thought she was 99.999% pregnant, that is how large her stomach was. We took
her to a local vet, and they offered to do an ultrasound and
