Re: [Felvtalk] testing a new cat ~ when and what test

2008-09-23 Thread Kelley Saveika
Hi Laurie,

Personally we only test cats once with the SNAP test if it comes back
negative.  We start the vaccination series immediately upon getting a
negative SNAP result.

Certainly I wouldn't go to the expense of an IFA if you have a previous
negative SNAP test.

But, as everything, it is an individual decision.

Here is a chart from the main site that may help you.

 I rescued a mama kitty and one kitten 2 months ago.
 Both mama and kitten tested negative for FeLV August 3.
 Mama stayed at vet office for 19 days. Lots of cats go through there
 because
 she is low cost SN who works with rescue.

 Mama has been at my house in a two room suite (with 2 sets of doors between
 her and my  cats) for a month. I am taking her to local vet tomorrow for a
 check up (she has had a big belly since arrivinghas lost some of it
 with
 controlled feeding). I want to make sure she is healthy before exposing her
 to my five negatives. I am hoping to keep her. She's pretty timid and has a
 tendency to bite while she is grooming me so I worry about placing her in
 an
 adoptive home.

 I plan to have her tested for FeLV a second time tomorrow. Should I do the
 SNAP again or the one that tests bone marrow? Is 30 days in my house long
 enough or should I wait longer? She was in a cage at vet's office but the
 high cat traffic does concern me.

 Thanks!
 Laurie

[Felvtalk] So Happy!

2008-09-23 Thread fsftb
Hello everyone!
Tweezers tests came back and it is likely that all that is wrong with him 
(Besides being positive) is a secondary infection!  No liver stint.  No blood 
parasites, no crystals, no micro cystosis.  He already looks so much better.  
His eyes are not goopy, he seems to be gaining weight and no more watery 
stools. He actually was playing for the last day or so!  Celebrate !!

[Felvtalk] Oakland, CA - FeLV+ cat living outside

2008-09-23 Thread Susan Hoffman
Hi.  I've just moved into a house in Oakland, California and learned that one 
of the stray cats living outside (they came with the house) is FeLV+.  I am 
told that she has tested positive 4 times using different tests.

This is a sweet young orange girl, definitely tame.  She should have a home.  I 
really can't bring her inside -- too many fosters, including FIV+, senior and 
kittens who would be more susceptible to feLV if exposed.  Sanctuary space is a 
possibility but a home would be better.

Any suggestions?  (I will get a photo posted on Bemikitties.  But I wanted to 
post to the group too, in case anyone knows of a HOME for an FeLV+ cat in 
northern California.)
