Hi There,

The FeLV vaccine is far from being 100% effective so I think the best bet would be to adopt another cat with FeLV. I think it would be a wonderful thing to take in one of these special kitties, however, as you know, it can be heartbreaking.

Perhaps the first step would be to re-test your cat and see if the FeLV results are still positive. Some cats actually throw off the virus and become negative. If this happens you might have more options for adoption.

Either way, if you do take in another kitty, I would go with an adult, who would have a better immune system than a kitten.

Take care, and please let us know what you decide.

Regards,
PHKitkat
