Re: [Felvtalk] New Kitten, New Worries
I, also have had several positives spayed/neutered with no problems. It is really less stressful for the girls to be spayed than to go through repeated cycles of heat.

Re: [Felvtalk] New Kitten, New Worries
I've had several healthy positives spayed/neutered, no problem with that. If they have some kind of problem, of course, I don't have any surgery done - uri, etc. Gloria On Aug 2, 2009, at 2:44 PM, Jody Butler wrote: First, thanks to all who supported us when we lost Darcy, our positive kitty a couple of months ago after her spaying surgery.

[Felvtalk] New Kitten, New Worries
First, thanks to all who supported us when we lost Darcy, our positive kitty a couple of months ago after her spaying surgery. We just adopted a partially blind kitten from the kind lady who found her and her sister abandoned in a mud puddle. She's active and happy and will be going to our vet on Tuesday for her first visit. We have two adult positive kitties who are doing well. I don't yet know if this kitten will be positive, but if she is, I'm already worrying about her spaying, after Darcy and losing another positive a few years ago after a surgery. How do others handle positives when they come into heat? Is it just a hope for the best situation? Are there options I'm not aware of? Any words of wisdom are welcome. Even if she tests negative, I'm sure there'll be other positives in our future.
