To answer if the foster mom has her cats vaccinated, NO. However, Taffy has her
own litter box and own feeding bowl and only mingles with the other cats for a
short time during the day, then back to her room with her pooch friend. I'm not

I lost a cat to FL in the 90's. After that I panicked and faithfully
vaccinated my next five cats every year. Then I rescued another FL cat.
Separated him from the others while he was symptomatic. He threw off the
virus. As fate would have it, other rescues came to my door. I cou
Hi Lee,
Thanks for explaining. Not sure if there is hope for Leo to still turn
negative. He tested positive last July, when trapped and neutered, and then
again in Nov. I haven't retested yet, and am thinking of doing the IFA too.
Does the woman who has Taffy have all of her other cats vacc
I can't be so hard on Vets anymore. Getting thru Vet school can't educate where
the whole disease process is so little understood. I have researched FeLV up

negative cats. All my FL cats (we moved to SC) had been te
I agree with Lee completely. It angers me that someone can get through
Vet school and still not be knowledgable about this disease. I rescued a
male cat, two years old, and only then learned he was FelV+ after he was
neutered. He has thrown off the virus twice. He is over 6 now. mingels

Hi Shelley - I'm not sure as to when they were exposed. These were cats rescued
from different places at different times. One, a male who I have had not for
about 6 to 7 years, was rescued when he was not neutered, around age 2, street
cat, but tame. Since I was going to get him adopted after ne
Lee,
Can you explain more about the 2 month period for the adults that you have that
threw off the virus?
Do you know when they were first exposed, in other words could they have had
the FeLV virus for more than 2 months
before they ever were tested?

I have had a lot of success with adult cats who threw off the virus in about 2
months and tested negative from then on. For kittens, they may or may not have
been actually positive. Since their immune system is not fully developed, they
might not throw off the virus as soon as adults. Too bad ab
