    No, I haven’t had a kitty with FeLV but have done some reading on the illness.
    Here is a link to the Marley Fund. The founder of this organization lost a kitty to FeLV and began this for study and research. The site has a lot of good information.
    Since you know she has leukemia, you and her vet can watch for any changes and give her the longest, healthiest life possible.
    Purrs for you and kitty.

    I had a cat who had leukemia at the end of his life, my cat got very lethargic, weak, and had no appetite.

    There are some EXCELLENT feline leukemia cat lists on yahoogroups.com that you should check out. All the owners there have cats with this and can give you first hand information.

    Yes, I have.
    Feline leukemia changes the immune system. These kitties need their vaccines, and any illness has to be treated quickly.
    Check out the Winn Feline Foundation, look for the article on feline leukemia.
    My two who got the disease from their mom died young, one became anemic and one had lymphoma. Watch for pale gums, and trouble breathing. If she isn’t eating as much as usual, she needs to be checked by the vet; that’s often the first sign of complications.
    One kitty I had caught the disease older when his immune system was more able to deal with it. The person who is keeping him as an only cat still has him and he’s 12.
    Some positive kitties, even young ones, do deal with it and become negative.

    At the end of her life, my cat had both leukemia and AIDS. She got very lethargic, weak, and had no appetite. I hope your cat lives a long, healthy life.

    If the cat becomes symptomatic, it will drink excessively and at times, may hunch up and meow loudly as if in pain. We had a cat with it when I was a child and I can remember the cat always near water, hovering by the bathroom sink and so on…
