your own question.

If they are already living together there is especially no reason to

Barbara,
That's good, that your vet does go to the conferences and keeps up on
the latest findings. I guess the bottom line is that you have to do
what is best for your situation, as we all do. I just wanted to let you
know there are options. I am so glad I found this group many years
doing great! You know you can vaccinate your other cats if you would like to keep Tom. I know it's not easy to find a felv positive kitty a nice home. It's heartbreaking. He might live a full life. You never know.
Good luck!

You have no idea how long Tom has, and neither does
anyone else. There are people on this list who have had FeLV+ cats live to over
10 years old. It is rare but it does happen. I have one whose age I don't want

However, the virus is not considered that contagious; it dies farely
rapidly on contact with the air. (Unlike those URI viruses). So at least
for the time you have Tom, he's not that much
with the woman that runs the shelter and often give donations. So, please don't give up and do all you can to find Tom a home!
By the way, a few months later I found out that my 10 year old is FELV+! We never even knew! Your other cats could have it and you'd never know. But Killian is now 11. What
