hllo, i am a little late with my 2 cents, but. i tried isolating my first
felv+, Annie and everyone in the house was miserable. my vet told me, along
with everyone on this list that if everyone else had their felv shots up to
date, there was little cause for alarm. since then, a stray showed
the stats WOULDN'T have us believe it's that bad, that's the
point--70% of adult cats will either NOT become infected or will not
stay infected. most feral groups don't even bother testing any more,
because the rest of the colony has already been exposed and killing
asymptomatic cats isn't going to

in terms of reducing stress while separating them, you can put up a
screen door--unless becca is sneezing vociferously there's no chance
of virus transmission (bodily fluids and all), but the kitties can all

I brought Tommy home and successfully introduced him to his new brother and
sister, only to find out that he was FeLV+. I was given the same two
options - separate or euthanize. I can only tell you what I did.
You'll find opinions all over the place on the net. Some vets are very
cautious but then they've probably never had FELV cats - just read the
textbooks and seen the sick cats in their practices.
However, quite a few people on this list do mix, with no problems.
I've done that in the past,
Iva, I don't know what to say about quarantining Becca. My positives were
dumpster kittens when I rescued them and were kept separate from the rest until
they were tamed. By that time my house kitties had received the FeLV vaccine
