My Elmo did not have felv but a rare auto immune disease. He had the same
symptoms as yours. Elmo had a very low red blood cell count (his body was
attacking his own) and needed a blood transfusion. This might help your cat
also and isn't very expensive.

We are fighting for the life of our Oreo right now. Hope we can turn her

I'm sorry to hear about your cat! You have done all you can. I'm struggling
with trying to get a cat to eat right now myself. I'm force feeding her with
AD now. A couple of syringes at a time.
The Felv virus can only survive a couple of hours, but there are other
bacterias of secondary infections
That's not true. Cats can contract it even when their immuun system is
strong. They just don't get sick from right away. So healthy cats can also
get it. I would be very carefull with the things your cat used!

Rabies is not necessary on indoor cats, but it's required by law in your
state.
I would get a second opinion on vaccinating your cats on a regular basis,
other then rabies, because even you can bring in a disease that can make
your cat sick. Especially cats who are Felv + need their yearly booster

I don't think that's possible. The kittens can get it through the placenta
and milk of their mom, not the sperm of their father. Unles they had close
contact with their father but that's not very likely with stray kittens.

Hi,
Just a quick question. At what age do you guys have your male kittens
neutered. I have a 10 to 12 week old kitten (not sure exactly, found him at
a gas station).
We have to have him tested for Felv/Fiv and I was thinking to have him
neutered at the same time because it would save us a lot of m
his would be a good time to do it.

Sometimes it's not fair to state that Natalie. There are people who really
love their Felv+ cat(s)
and just want the best for them AND for their other Felv negative cats.
Not everybody has the space to keep healthy and 'sick' cats separate and try
to find
different solutions so everybody will be ha

My biggest fear with 9 cats! Luckely we have an enclosed cat playground
