I'm fairly certain the remaining kitten, Mickey, was from the same litter as all the others, as he was the same size as the others, and the same color as one of them. The others succumbed between the ages of 1 and 2 (they were 3 months old when they found me in December 2003): Caramel died on Thanksgiving 2004, Levi January 2005, and Snoball and Flavia on July 6, 2005. Hang on in there Glenda. This is a great group for support! Kerry PS If you're being told your email is awaiting approval it's very likely because the string is too long. It just happened with this one so I've chopped off the rest.

WELL IT LOOKS LIKE MY EMAILS ARE GETTING THROUGH. THANK YOU FOR GETTING BACK TO US PEOPLE WITH THE FeLV+ KITTENS. I AM GRATEFUL THAT MY VET HAD GIVEN ME SOME HOPE, ALTHOUGH THE OTHER DAY I HAD MY KITTEN RE-TESTED AND IT WAS AGAIN POSITIIIVE, BUT I HAD ONLY WAITED ABOUT 3-WEEKS. MY VET WAS LESS OPTIMISTIC THIS TIME. I THINK SHE DID NOT WANT ME TO FEEL TOO HOPEFUL. THE VET I USED BEFORE HAD OFFERED TO PUT MY KITTEN DOWN THE MINUTE THE TEST CAME BACK POS. HE WAS TRYING TO RELIEVE ME OF MY PAIN, BUT I RAN OUT OF THE CLINIC WITH MY KITTY AND FOUND A MORE CAT-FRIENDLY VET...I BELIEVE AND HOPE SOMEONE BETTER INFORMED.. WELL, THE FACT ONE OF YOUR KITTENS EVENTUALLY TESTED NEG. IS A BRIGHT SPOT. WAS THIS FROM A LITTER FROM WHERE THE OTHERS NEVER THREW THE VIRUS OR WAS THIS A COMPLETELY SEPERATE CAT? HOW OLD WERE THE KITTENS YOU HAD BEFORE THEY DEVELOPED SYMPTONS AND PASSED AWAY? I KNOW THINKING ABOUT ALL THIS IS HARD...WE ARE JUST ALL TRYING TO LEARN ALL WE CAN ABOUT THIS DISEASE AND HOW BEST TO DEAL WITH IT. KERRY, THANK YOU SO MUCH!
