The incubation period is supposed to be 3 months for FeLV, & 6 months for FIV,
per all the vets I've dealt with. But I always like to wait a little longer
just to be sure.

I worked a hoarding case with 26 unvaccinated cats. 3 of them turned out to be
FeLV positive. We quarantined the remaining cats for 6 months & none showed up
FeLV positive after the 6 months. I was amazed.

I want to thank everyone who responded about my post regarding Amber, my FeLV

I have been feeling a little guilty about risking the health of my other cats
from some chance encounter with Amber. I still plan to be cautious but do feel
less stressed about it.
I have done a lot of re

Hi Jannes:
The FELV/FIV Co
Most of you have heard Dixie Louise Doodle Katt, JP's story. She came
to me as a feral/throw-away. I liked her and was gong to bring her to
the farm. I took her to be spayed and she tested positive. My vets'
put all the options on the table and I took death off to the relief of
everyone
Thank you so much for sharing. This makes me feel less paranoid, at the
least. I
will definately have her retested. If she still tests negative, I will still
give her the best life I can. :)

I've always spay/neutered mine- No problems. Except one Felv girl I have, who
has seizures, and I have not had her spayed. Year or two old. She just seems so
fragile I couldn't put her thru it. Doesn't seem to have heat cycles, if so
very mild and unnoticeable.

The reason I'm curious about it is because of my foster cats. Some people,
including some vets, are saying that since they've been exposed to it this long
and they tested negative recently that they should be fine and to go ahead and
adopt them out. My 8 month old kitten came here when he was
Wow, Jannes. The vet advocating euthanization is a warning sign not to let
him/her treat this particular cat. She is obviously not up to date on the
latest research and you need all the knowledge you can get to maintain
Amber's good health. You might consider calling around to different vets and

Hi - the shelter near me in philadelphia has a very lovey kissing hugging
10-15 year old senior kitty who just is a total lovebug. His owner died.
Can anyone take him in?
He is on the very very sweet side and my bathroom doesn't seem like it's
good enough for this little lovebug.

That does present a problem - that's precisely the reason why I cannot mix
the cats. I cannot take the chance that a cat getting adopted from us
might possibly infect an adopter's cat. If they were all here to stay, I
would definitely do it. I also do not mix FIV with FeLV - don't want to

My vet always treats a cat with health problems with vitamin injections for
about a week or two - vitamin B12, C, etc. - it builds up their immune
system a bit before surgery. We call it "The Cocktail". You can't imagine
how many cats' lives have been saved with these cocktails, practically
coming
Sounds like you've got a great vet there. Congrats!
