Thanks I will do more research. My Cleo and Rusty were both vaccinated. My
husband and I are becoming very attached to him. I still hesitate to mix him
until he has another test. I am over-reacting because of my last 3 cats. To be
honest, my husband has retired and we cannot afford the vet bills, like we
could in the past. Our little Molly cost us thousands, I don't regret it, we
loved her so, and she gave so much love back to us. I am just afraid that if
little Lucky gets sick or if my 2 negatives (Cleo & Rusty) develop Felv I won't
be able to be as aggressive in treating them. Jo Ann

My little guy Fletch, just passed about a month ago from Felv. The vets figured
he had it from the day he was born. My 3 others ranging from 2 to 5 have lived
with him, groomed him, ate and drank with him, etc. None of them were ever
vaccinated for felv and they all tested negative. Dr mike Richards has some
good articles on felv on the net, if u r interested. And I must say that I do
feel very lucky that everyone tested neg.
