Hi Jodie,
Welcome to the FeLV group! You've found the best
source for reliable info. and great support in dealing
with FeLV.

for 2.5 years before I found out my positive was

Terrie,
Bless you for taking this little one in and giving her
the care she deserves. She's a lucky girl to have
found you. To spay/abort or not is a personal choice.
You just have to do what you think is right for new
kitty. I think either way, whatever kitties remain
will be loved and cared
Tomi is absolutely beautiful; you can see the love he has for you in his eyes.

Hey guys,
Just wanted to let you guys know that Roombie (our new
Roomba Sage for pet owners) went on it's maiden voyage
this morning. The kitties were somewhat alarmed at
first, but by the time it cleaned for 45 minutes and
docked itself, they weren't too concerned with it.

I have seen several times on two different kitty
'sites' that some cats don't like Merrick, so don't be
surprised if Stitch won't eat it. I hope he does,
because it's supposed to be good stuff, but if not,
there's other good stuff out there. BTW...I could use

Not the stomatitis itself, however, cats with severe stomatitis could die
from not eating, it the mouth lesions make it too painful to eat. Likewise,
cats with untreated stomatitis could also get secondary oral bacterial
infections which could in theory go systematic and be deadly.

Interferon has no effect on test results.

i repeat, i've known as many FIVs throw off FeLV as "healthy" cats. is
there actually any research that shows them to be more susceptible, or is
just the usual assumption? remember that anecdotal evidence from sanctuaries

My understanding is that about 70% of adult cats are immune to FELV so it is
quite possible to mix UNvaccinated adult cats with a positive and have no
problems. It is also possible, if you have one of the remaining 30%, for it
to be transmitted even by saliva.

Cats can and do develop freckles. It's not anything to worry about. Happens
