Females can be spayed via laser which is a lot less traumatic. I
don't know about males. Personally I would want a private vet who
experienced in FeL+ cats.....MHO

of stress, much bigger in my opinion than the surgery. Keeping an
intact male from roaming or mating will result much restlessness and
anxiety on his part. Unneutered cats generally have trouble keeping
weight on and are less healthy, because so much energy goes into the
reproductive system and behavior. Neutered cats are much calmer and
healthier. For this reason, I would get him neutered. I have never
seen a vet refuse to neuter a positive cat. Even the low-cost clinic
we use does it.

Subject: [Felvtalk] neutering a positive cat
I still have Mitt, the kitten I found in October who tested
positive. He seems to be
healthy at this time and around 7-8 months old. I am thinking I
should have him
neutered but the local humane society refused to do surgery on a
positive cat,
claiming surgery could trigger an immune system problem. Has anyone
neutered
their positive cat after finding out it was positive and what was
your experience?
Thanks for any input. PS: Someone asked my in a prior posting why
the vet give
vaccinations before getting blood work results that showed positive.
She sent the
blookwork to an outside lad since she said it would be less costly
and that same visit
when blood was drawn, she went ahead and did vaccinations.
