Hi Lynne, I'm so sorry for your sad loss. In reply to your first
question, that's what I've been told - if they were born with the
virus, they have less of a chance. My two who were born with the
virus lived to 2.5-3 yrs of age. I wasn't giving them interferon. I
have 5 FELV cats now, and two that I'm pretty sure were born with the
virus. Been giving them low dose oral interferon daily since they
were kittens. They're about 2 yrs now, so we'll see.

Jenn, and others, appreciate all comments we are
suffering thru bereavement,
Thanks for asking more about our sweet Frodo; we are
sure he was born with the virus.
The haunting question is, and still looking for
answers experiences and opinions :
If a kitten is born with the virus, are they more
likely to succumb at an early age ? Thanks Jenn for
that observation that they often don't live past 3
