Animal Welfare Professionals

Our rescue has been in operation for roughly 3 years now. We are a small non-profit with a total of around 100 cat adoptions a year and 150 dog adoptions.  Our cats live as a community. We have 3 rooms for cats and typically do one for kittens under 6m, one for "teenagers", and one for adults.  Sometimes if we find ourselves with an empty room, we take in a pregnant female or a mom with kittens. 

We recently pulled a mama cat and her 4 kittens from a local rural animal control. (taking one of the 3 rooms). The plan was to move mom into the adult room after spay and kittens would start a new young kittens room.

When mom went in for spay, she tested positive for FeLV.  This is the first time we've had a cat test positive for FeLV. Her kittens all tested negative and 2 have been adopted out. The other 2 have been integrated with a couple other young kittens. as the teen room was emptied.

However mama Mikasa is the concern. How do you find a home for an FeLV + cat? We are taking an entire room (which normally would house 4 - 10 cats/kittens depending on age) for her.  I've reached out to several larger rescues that have FeLV wards to try to transfer her. We even have a volunteer with a plane that is willing to fly her as far West as TX or up the East Coast. No one has responded or those that have do not have space.

We've waived her adoption fee. She is a gorgeous DLH lynx-point Siamese girl. She's very friendly, loving, and asymptomatic. Literally the perfect cat except for her unfortunate disease. 

Anyone have strategies? Or have space for her at your rescue? Or have an adopter that is interested in an FeLV+ cat?

We've had her for about 2m now. We've had a couple of local rescues recommend euthanasia but we are praying we can find a different ending for her that involves a loving family and comfy home.

 We get FeLV + often and only euthanize the sick ones.  Is  she being advertised for adoption in any Felv groups? 
I get it about taking up a whole room for one kitty, we are currently doing this with a kitty who has a weird fungus strain.  It sucks during the busy kitten season.    Ask around for foster and let people know if their  current kitties are vaccinated it is super unlikely she will pass it on. My foster has 3 of our leukemia kitties in with her 5 cats.      Her cats have been tested since ours have been their and the  test is negative. They are adults who have had their series of vaccines.

We are not advertising her in any FeLV specific groups. I didn't know there were any.  I have put her in a rehoming page for cats in GA a few times but nothing.

Interesting to note that it isn't passing to vaccinated kitties. We have her listed that she needs to be an only cat or in a home with other FeLV+ cats. Although we aren't 100% that she likes other cats. Her kittens were 8w when we pulled them and she hissed at them if they came near her. We had a meet n greet for another litter of kittens last weekend. We put Mikasa in a crate so we could use the room for the MnG and she hissed at them if they came near her or if she looked at them lol. She literally sat in her crate with her back to them so she didn't have to see them haha.

Hello, Sarah

You don't mention how Mom was tested. One positive snap test is not the end of the testing protocol.  An IFA and PCR are next to confirm.  And then repeat testing in 60 days to see if she cleared the infection.  What testing was done?

Hi all;

       Things have changed so often re: Felv cats.  Margaret Tompkins did a webinar on Mixed Households which has great information about testing/treatment etc.  It is worth a watch.  At the Community Cats Podcast we have a whole day dedicated to this topic.   Margaret is a fantastic resource and you may want to reach out to her too.  

While at the Merrimack River Feline Rescue Society we started adopting out Felv's in 1996.  

 We are putting together our agenda for July's session now, but you can sign up by going to this link:  https://www.communitycatspodcast.com/events/2024-online-feline-leukemia-day-conference/

or if you need a scholarship please go here:  https://www.communitycatspodcast.com/event-scholarships/

 There are a couple great educational groups out on facebook and I do recommend you check them out too.  

Good luck, she sounds like a lovely cat.

Hey Sarah! 

 So I've been at Grand Prairie Animal Services for 10 years now. We are a municipal shelter located between Dallas and Fort Worth in Texas. When I originally started FIV and FeLV + were instant euthanasias. Which looking back is really sad. There's no reason these guys don't deserve a chance at living a happy home life for whatever time they have left. About 6 years ago we started a TNR program. From there we stopped EU'in those positive cats. We now have 2 condos specifically for each illness and house them accordingly. If they are both (which has happened) they have to go into a bank cage kennel. I will say FeLV is sometimes easier for us to adopt us vs FIV at this point especially with people who do not want a 15-20yr long term commitment with a cat. The average life span is typically 3 years once they contract it and is oddly a "selling" point for the right person. We went from a 3% live release rate for cats when I started to now being 98%-99% month to month. We only EU sick or beyond help injured cats at this point. We have had to EU some FeLV and FIV cats due to symtoms not getting better but worse and the cats were miserable.

I would try to set her up in her own space if possible. I don't know what your facility looks like but if you have the space; maybe a bank cage type set up or even an XXL black wire crate set up, just so she's not occupying the entire condo for starters. 

Secondly, I know here in TX we have rescue groups like Austin Pets Alive, Dallas Pets Alive, Houston Pets Alive in our major cities. Do ya'll have anything like that in GA? I would even consider reaching out to APA in the event they are able to assist. They have actual lifetime condos for these types of cats and keep them free roaming until they are either adopted or pass. 

Good luck!
