[Felvtalk] Having two Feline Leukemia cats

2011-08-24 Thread April Johnson
In June we adopted two cats a young black female(Spicy) and a orange female (Sunny) from animal control.  Our local shelter was overrun with cats and begging people to come adopt.  When we took them to the vets a week after being adopted the receptionist asked if we wanted them tested.  I did no

always follow a positive ELISA test. The ELISA tests have a reputation for false positives.   I will say that she does have a chance of clearing the virus. How long ago was Spicy originally tested?   Thanks! Lynda - Original Message - >From: April Johnson >To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.

s downright crazy!  It is so hectic. My husband and i have been stressed all summer since Chloe got the virus in June.  I don't know how we'd ever go away - I don't know who could deal with all this.  I need to find Chloe a home.  How do you manage keeping them all apart?

Hi Jamielynn:   I adopted a cat from ACCT last year without knowing they do not test unless requested by the adopter.  My cat turned out to be FELV+ she was with my other cats for a week.  My vet wanted me to put her to sleep but I couldn't.  I contacted the Best Little Cat House near Pittsburg

With kittens there is very good chance they will come back negative.  My girl Spicey was 10 months old and had been at the shelter for almost two months.  I had her tested again and it was found that the Leukemia was in her bone.  I'm just thankful that any new addition I always take to my vet r
