Leslie... I feel for you.
What I've come to realize is that you just know when
that certain cat needs to come home with you. Everything else all falls to the
side... the test results, the costs, the special needs... none of that really
matters. Your heart tells you what your actions should

PS, Prozac works wonders for
the grieving process, makes life bearable when you lose one. I take it for about
6 months after I lose a baby.. then taper myself off when I can go to sleep

Leslie,
Negative cats can live with positive cats? I'd love to hear more
about this from anyone that has/is successfully done
Hey Leslie,
You're right, the FeLV vaccinations aren't 100%
effective. I think it's more like 80% or so; not
sure. But the vaccinations, coupled with the fact
that FeLV is NOT easy to spread, makes for a good
combination when mixing pos's and neg's. My cats (3;
one very geriatric) lived with
Very well said!

Hey Leslie,
Not a weird question at all. I think if you can
handle the stress yourself if you lost any more and
you know Satchmo would love another friend, then
adopting would be right. Only you can know if you can
keep giving of yourself. I have about 9 negatives, so
adopting a positive right

decision!

Hi,
Maggie, when you suggest getting an older cat, I am on board with that, that is a good idea. I know that kittens are more susceptible, but you always hope, don't you? :) So Trixie now has a littermate with her at the Humane Society, one that show that they have Manx in them, because she has
Hello,
My name is Leslie. My cat's name is Satchmo. He's 6 years old, I adopted him at 5 years old knowing that he had feline leukemia. My question is about adopting him a friend.
Now the background. Four years ago I adopted Sushi, a 2 yr old DSH that had been rescued from a house full of cats.
If I could financially afford it then yes, I would take another. Welcome to the group!tonyaLeslie [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:Hello, My name is Leslie. My cat's name is Satchmo. He's 6 years old, I adopted him at 5 years old knowing that he had feline leukemia. My question is about adopting

Kerry,
Thank you so much for your thoughts. You are right, to have a support group would make a big difference.
What I wonder is, if I lost Satch, would I adopt another FeLV+ cat? I like taking in the hard-to-adopt animals, because it does feel so good, so I think that I might, but I'm not sure -
Yes, she is a doll!
She looks like my Torti named "Buggy"
if you like to see a photo of her let me know I can send a photo to you or anyone.
She was a rescue too at the age of 5 weeks old. I've had her for 4 yrs now.

I'd agree with spaying the FELV kitty, and that's what I've done. I
took in a little 8 month old FELV kitty who was pregnant, and my
choice was to have her spayed. She came thru it with flying colors.
I give my FELV kitties daily interferon, to boost the immune system.

Janet,
I have to agree with everything that Nina said.
Having the cat spayed would probably be the humane
thing to do. My cat Cricket was born with Feline
Leukemia; his mother had it. I would like to urge you
to consider keeping this cat if you are at all
attached to it, and caring for it
Hi Janet,
That simple act of rescue can certainly become
complicated.
I joined this list months ago after trapping a litter
of feral positive kittens. I was looking for sound
advice, which I got, and I should really sign off the

emails but I

Two weeks ago I took a cat in that had been abandoned. Today, I took
her to the vet and found out she was tested as positive for feline
leukemia. I also found out today that she is pregnant.
I have a 15 year old cat that does not have leukemia. Thus, I cannot
keep this new cat but I

Janet,
As Terri and Tonya have already mentioned, many of us mix adult negs
that have been vaccinated with pos. It's a judgement call and of
course no matter what our success rate in doing this is, there's no
safer protection for your elderly cat than to not mix them together.
That's what most
