Dear friends, I need some
advice!
One of the NJ FeLV cats will be coming
soon--possibly this Wed--to join my 2 remaining feral kitties (Mickie who's got
FeLV, and Momcat who has tested neg twice).
Mickey and Momcat live in my 2nd
bedroom.
I have 2 Qs--
1. d'you think I need
to introduce the new little guy slowly--I'd have to keep him in
my bedroom while I'm at work, which could mean he'll be on his own for long
stretches. :>( (It's such a long time since I've had
to introduce anyone---my brood all came as an existing colony.) Little new
guy, by the way, is supposed to be people-friendly. I'm hoping it will help
bring my two round.
Cherie, who does rescue---she's the
angel that took all the NJ cats-- said she didn't think I needed to
keep little new guy separate (like in a crate, the other option I
mentioned to her). But everything I read in the past says I should
introduce them s-l-o-w-l-y.
2. D'you think I should
remove the negative cat, Momcat, from the room because otherwise she could
contract FeLV from the new cat if it were a different strain of FeLV. (I'm very
hazy on this stuff but I think I recall Sally in San Jose talking about
different strains.) Momcat's never been vaccinated for FeLV. She's
still scared, and I really don't want to upset her further at this point. I
dream of integrating her woth my bunch one day. It will be awful trying to catch
her--much worse than the kittens and they were difficult enough.
All opinions much appreciated!! Thanks in
advance----Kerry
