Hi Ellie, I agree with everyone else. Stress is huge in fostering illness in cats, especially felv+. They also can need more vet. care, high quality food, supplements, and lots of patience and love. I would do something now for treatment, don't wait until they start acting sick - they go downhi

Hi Ellie Keep Brie !! The thought of her being in that stressful situation of travel, moving to an unknown place and being on her own for 20 hour days is unbearable. It would be awful for a healthy cat. Please keep her. I know you will be very happy that you did. Jane On Oct 13, 2009,

Hi Jody and welcome. I wish I had tips to give you on a good diet. My holistic vet believes a raw diet is best for both cats and dogs, but the FeLV virus makes that an exception. I have tried to find the best quality commercial food (if that really exists) and have fed her whatever she will eat.
