Melody is a beautiful, friendly girl who was found wandering and never claimed! Would you like to be her forever family? Sad to say Melody tested positive for FeLV.
From available research, progressively infected FeLV+ cats often live between 2-6 years after diagnosis if they were diagnosed as adults, and 6 months-2 years after diagnosis if they were diagnosed as kittens. Regressively infected cats are showing normal lifespans in research studies. Alley Cats says
FeLV cannot survive for more than a few hours outside a cat’s body in most environments and is easily destroyed with soap and water. Spaying and neutering cats helps prevent FeLV transmission by minimizing biting behavior. When cats are spayed or neutered, hormone-driven fights (and any resulting bites) associated with mating decrease dramatically. Spaying and neutering also ends the transmission of FeLV from mother cats to kittens. It is important to know that a vaccination for FeLV exists, but it is not 100 percent effective. People should consult their veterinarians and determine their cat’s risk factors for FeLV when deciding whether to vaccinate. So to adopt Melody is facing a unknown future. But that is so true of many cats. Life is not promised to anyone. Thank you for your interest in a CATsNAP cat or kitten!
