I know you are asking Ginger, but I thought I would chime in. I had the same worry as you. I did lots of reading on it and most of the info was that the virus does not live long outside the body for more than a few hours. But for my own piece of mind, I discarded all the bowls, the litter box, and washed all blankets/bedding that my FeLV kitty favored.

I hope this helps.  Congrats on getting a new kitty!

Ginger: we want to introduce a 12 week old kitty to our home. What precautions should we take since my beloved Ginger kitty died of feline leukemia? Please help! Marinda

So yesterday one of our former Sids kids Scarpetta had to be let go....he was one sweet boy...I remember the first time meeting him....I looked at him, I told him boy you sure are an ugly kitty....he looked at me with his loving beautiful eyes?and gave the sweetest yet strangest meow....and instantly he became one of the most beautiful cats I had the honor to know and love...he had a wonderful home for about the last 6 months with our wonderful volunteer Marcia...she has taken home several extra special needs Sids kids and has lost them within this last year...bless her warm heart for taking home some of the most wonderful cats....
?
Foley,oh Foley...he went home almost a year ago with Julie another awesome kind hearted lady that also has taken home many special Sids kids and have lost so many too recently...well this wonderful tiger boy left this world today...my heart is broken...I was going to go visit him and several of the other former Sids kids this sunday,,,but Julie sent me a message today that she has to let him go...I will be getting a clay paw print of his...he has a paw print in my heart as do all the wonderful Sids kids....so much sadness lately..... :( Bless you all...hug your babies tight...
