Hi, Jenny. Wisconsin Humane Society will, indeed, euthanize FeLV cats/kittens.
They tested a litter I rescued, told me they were positive and asked if I
wanted to come and get them or if they should euthanize them. Thanks to this
group, I retrieved the kittens. Only one was positive. Again, thanks to this
group, my vet re-tested and they were all negative. I placed 3 and kept 1 -
they are 4 months old and healthy, happy, and thriving. To think the Humane
Society would have killed them all!!!
