I don't know. all mine were a year or two old when tested. I have lost them at all different ages. I think it just depends on the cats. It might be true that it makes a difference if they are born with it versus contracting it after the first weeks, though, since they have at least developed some immune system at that point. So glad you are adopting, though! and wishing him a long, healthy, happy life with you and Lil Abner! :) Michelle In a message dated 12/26/2006 7:58:25 P.M.

We have decided to go with a 4-yr-old FELV+ male who, I think, has a better chance at living for longer than a year. A common belief seems to be that kittens and younger ones will only live 2-3 years. Hopefully he contracted it as an adult, & can fend off the disease for a longer time.
