Re: mixing

Re: Mixing FeLv non FeLv

I would not mix kittens with an FeLV+ cat or kitten, as their immune systems are not fully developed and are more susceptible to contracting the virus. Adult cats I feel are most likely ok to exposure, although I wouldn't bet my life on it. :) Wendy --- Pam Norman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I

This was how I got started. I had 12 cats total. The positive (I didn't know was positive) was about 8 weeks old and her 'best friend' was a negative about the same age. They were together at least a month, probably closer to 2. I found out she was positive, tested, retested, retested everyone.

A FIV+ cat is several times more likely to get FELV than a negative cat, they have about the same chances as kittens in catching FELV (or any cat with a weak or undeveloped immune system). That being said, you have to go by quality of life. Even IF he does get FELV from mixing with your crew,
