Hi Marta,
Thanks for everything that you do for all of those cats, including Arlo. I'm
not aware of any specific recommendation that treatments be discontinued or not
applied at any certain stage of infection or progress. However, I'm not an

I have given my FeLV+ girl

I'm a new member to the FelV group, but not new to cat rescue
and TNR, which I've been doing for a long time.
For years I didn't test for FelV, because back in the 1980's I tested
all of my cats for it, and two were positive, so I put had them put
down to protect my other cats.

I just wanted you to know that Dixie sent me a second little one from
the same pine thicket and surrounded by the same hawks, fox, dogs,
etc. Apparently she really thought she had EVERYTHINGcertainly
