After 2 months, there is no need to do any of this as the FeLV will all be
dead long ago. It is probably a good idea in general to wash the toys, but
it is never necessary to use straight bleach on anything to disinfect it.
Anything soaked in a 3-4% bleach solution for 20 minutes will be
disinfected.

I would throw away soft toys that cannot be laundered - any hard surfaces
like plastic that are porous, wash them with Clorox mixed with water - or
straight, if you wear a mask or bandana over your face! Rinse really
well -
same goes for litter boxes. That should kill everything that may have been
on it! Natalie

It's now been just over two months since Tommy died. My heart is ready to
welcome home a new kitten. My other two cats have tested negative for FeLV
(yay!!). Is there anything special I need to do to make sure the virus
isn't
still on toys, bedding, etc? I did wash the bedding, and I'm going to
throw
out some of the older toys. But stuff like the turbo scratcher (ball
around
a circle)?
Thank you,
Lisa
