Debbie, I'm so sorry for your loss of Tulo. I know he had a good life in his 3-1/2 years with you. Thank you for making a difference in the lives of these otherwise neglected kitties. I was in a similar situation recently when I took in a street cat last year, a big black beautiful boy

Debbie, When I first brought Chat Noir into our group he appeared perfectly healthy. It wasn't until he suddenly developed swollen lymph glands that he was diagnosed as FeLV positive. I figure that he'd had the virus for a while and then it suddenly just became active and it acted VERY

Debbie, I feel guilty as well. What was I thinking adopting a kitten from my local humane society without making sure my indoor cat was protected against everything possible? It was really hard for me to deal with (I really beat myself up about it!) but as time goes by, I don't put all the

Dixie was happy and healthy until a few days before she left this earth--on her own. I can't tell you about a lot of the questions you raise. I can just tell you that Dixie came in from a pine thicket behind my mother's. Apparently she had been dumped or got lost---she had been spayed

One more note, Debbie Scientist do not know exactly when cats shed the virus and at what stage they are most contagious. This is another reason why I recommend testing all your cats eventually. I don't know where you live but my vet charges $50 for the ELISA test (and no office visit
