Heather I went through this with my 1st FeLV. I was hesitant to spay her, but
when she went into heat (I'd never seen ANY cat in heat before) I figured the
stress of that was far worse than the stress of the spay. She needs to be
spayed regardless of the outcome of the retest.

Dont Litter,
Yes, she will be spayed regardless of the outcome, we've spayed/neutered all
FELV+ rescues in the past but wanted to wait till her restet, she is not
with any other cats so we will retest spay her soon.
Thank you all for the input!!!

since she is in heat, can you keep her seperate from males? give her lots of
love and attention and use Felway to keep the stress level down. i spayed both
of my positive girls. the vet said to keep them seperate for a week so she
could heal. i have had no problems with either girl. Annie
Heather,
I have spayed 6 FeLV girls and neutered 2 FeLV boys - all rescues. None of the
girls were in heat. If you can, it would be better until this heat cycle is
over to spay her. That would also give you a chance to feed her a good diet
for a couple of weeks to build up her system.
Hi Heather,
I also do TNR so I know where you're coming from. We actually had this same
situation happen to us a couple months ago with our 5 mo old kitten we plucked
from a colony that tested 'light' positive. We only test ferals if we can find
them a home (like kittens). Anyway, our vet
if she was tested on the new HW/FIV/FeLV test, you cannot trust the
result. find a vet who has a stock of the old, FIV/FeLV-only test--if
you can find one, and retest NOW. in checking with MANY rescues and
shelters across the country, we have only found one true positive in
any cat tested with the
Thank you both VERY much for this extremely helpful input--and for
a quick answer for now on one important aspect I absolutely agree on, we
only test rescues/friendlies who we are trying to find homes for, or ferals
who are being treated for serious medical conditions/seeking indoor
placement,
This is very helpful Michelle, thank you!!!

michelle, the new test is SO inaccurate that immediate retesting is vital.
if you've read this list at all, you know that i'm the biggest
proponent on waiting
. That is
all I have to say about that.
