Thank you so much to everyone who has replied regarding handling Baby. The

Thank you, Christine. So far Baby has been only in the studio, completely
isolated, when she visits us. It never occurred to me to do otherwise, not only
because of felv but to avoid other contagious illnesses as well.
It typically takes us months to merge new cats into our setting. We go ve
My advice would be to keep FeLv and non-FeLv cats separated. If you choose
not to, you have to understand there is a chance the non-FeLv cats could
get infected.
Having said that, when my husband brought home a kitten that tested
positive for FeLV, I had to make that choice. We live in a small c
Hello, Maribel,
Thank you for this very specific information. It’s quite helpful, and just what
I needed to know.
Baby, when she stays here, is in my studio, which has a heavy sliding-glass
door between Felix and Cuddles who are both vaccinated against FeLV. The other

I had my Zander for seven years, mixed with a dozen other cats. I never took
any precautions at all. It was too late by the time we figured out he had FeLV.

scooper. Do not mix food or water and put any towels, beds, toys they use

the time is not something that I normally do EXCEPT be careful
Thank you. I guess I should have phrased my question to indicate that I was
concerned about spreading FeLV to my non-FeLV cats. If I understand correctly,
your cats are, or were, all FeLV-positive, so there would not have been any
non-FeLV cats to spread it to?
I told my cousin back in Dece
I have only had FELV cats but never washed my hands after handling them. I
treated all the same and have had no experience of the disease spreading to
others. I have had up to 10 at a time as all who came to my house became part
of my "pride". As they came to me, I took them to the vet for a
Hello again,
For those of you who have both FELV+ and - cats, how strenuous are your
cleaning efforts? For instance, do you wash hands after just petting? Do you
have your negative cats retested every year?
Thank you,
