Also, when they first began testing for FeLeuk, one of my two cats had it. She went several years and when she got sick (a tumor) the other cat still snuggled with her til she went over the Bridge - he never got the disease.catladymachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04033830580059786017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5048142180280267442.post-447217998731773092017-03-30T10:35:51.979-04:002017-03-30T10:35:51.979-04:00GRRRRR!!!!

Our rescue doesn't test for FIV, routinely. If there's a good reason, we will. And, of course, we'll add their FIV status to their listing -- if we know. But we've worked *really hard* at educating and now, mostly, adopters don't even blink if they're interested in an FIV+ cat. Our FIV+ cats don't take any longer to adopt than other cats.
