I would get the IFA done on Moe. More than likely at this point it will come up
positive.
If you have 2 cats with a positive IFA there is not way they are going to throw
off the virus & could be together.

Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Please help with testing confusion!
Thank you to everyone who responded - let me just clarify something.
The ELISA testing that was done on Moe (2.5 year old, tested a year apart) was
NOT the SNAP test done in office, but it was done at an outside lab, Antech
Diagnositics.
Baby, the 4-5 month old, was both SNAP tested and IFA tested.
So, does that change any recommendations? One vet says that they can be put
together. The other vet says that to be sure, we should wait another month,
and switch the testing on them. Sigh......I am more confused than before if
that is possible.

I'm confused and hope people can help me to understand this.
I have two cats who have tested positive for felv. One, Moe has tested
positive twice on the ELISA, and the tests were done a year apart. Baby, has
tested positive both on a SNAP and an IFA test - done two months apart.
Different vets were used.
They have been kept separate, both from each other and our negative cats.
So, the question is can they be safely introduced to each other? Do I need Moe
to be retested using the IFA? Do I need Baby retested using the ELISA?
Please, any light that can be shed on this will be incredibly helpful. Thank
you so much!
