Shannon,
I don't know whether or not there is a difference in the direness between
the ages, however I know that typically they give a worse prognosis for young
kittens who are already symptomatic. Every cat is different so it is really
hard to make that call. I say go with your gut. Our FeLV Maggie is 2 1/2 and
she has been symptomatic since she was a small kitten. Good luck with whichever
you choose and God bless you for taking in another FeLV!
