    I have to agree, keep everything clean. I volunteer at a cat rescue org. I do the food, water, and litter boxes in the ferral house, kitten room, adult room and some meds for the ones that need it. We have kitties that have Feline Leuk. but we play it safe. Every kitty new to the place is put into quarentine until they have been tested. Some come in pos for Leuk but they are still seperate. If they are young and healthy, and we keep doing eveything we can to make sure all is clean they usually get rid of the virus. It is a nasty thing for kitties to get. Good luck with yours.

    EDIT:
    Whoops, my bad. Don’t you think it’s time they find a new name since it isn’t a cancer being referred to, but a VIRUS?
