Thanks 
Robin.
 
Yes, 
my quarantined cats are down to 2 now, one of which has tested negative twice. 
She came with the colony (all the others were positive) so there was no way I 
was going to take her from them--they were/are feral and she was the most scared 
of them all. It would have been too cruel.
 
I 
would love to mix them all but I'm just too fearful that the worst may 
happen.
 
Kerry

Kerry - results of testing
We only started testing the cats initially two 
years ago so I don't know how long our postive was positive but once we found 
out he was we vaccinated the others.  
 
The negative Elisa/IFA tests were all done a month 
ago, after our postive died.
 
We didn't deliberately mix but there was no way I 
was going to separate our positive from his buddies.  I have to say now 
that I would probably test any incoming cats first.  I imagine some strains 
are more virulent than others and I wouldn't feel good exposing our existing 
cats again. 
 
I kind of wish for the old days when we didn't know 
about FELV and just adopted needy cats.
