Lorrie,
I'm sorry for your losses. Kittens with felv have the least chances of making
it. Once they get over a year or two their chances greatly improve. I'm so
sorry.

I wrote two weeks or so ago about a very sick FelV kitten who was
anemic and had lost control of her back legs, and her bladder. We
took her to the vet and he felt she was in the last stages of FelV,
with little or no hope for recovery. She was 9 months old and only
weighed 3 and a half pounds.
Lorrie,
It sounds like a congenital heart problem. Sure doesn't sound like anything
related to FeLV.

My understanding is that the vaccine is 85-90% effective.
We vaccinate all our rescue cats, and I vaccinate all my personal cats. You
will find others on this list who do not vaccinate at all. It is a very

I think the only way to get a 'true' test on felv kittens is to test them asap
and then wait at least 60 days (preferably 90). Keep them totally away from
other cats, and then retest. This is so hard to do that I don't think anyone
can judge a cat at any age as positive or negative from one
milk or grooming?
Hope that helps.

I don't know why. I think most people just wait on both tests (at shelters)
until the kittens are old enough to combo test. I think you could give the
leukemia test at any age. Honestly, if I were taking in a new cat I would not
even test it as a requisite to taking it in at this point.
