Oh the unfortunate luck of getting a positive leukemia test result.  We thought this couldn’t be true. So we waited two weeks and retested.  July 29 another positive result. The vet has told us to wait six months and retest again we could get a negative result at that time.   These kittens live with no worry. They play they ramble they meow they jump they climb they watch the birds and lizards outside the window.   They have no idea what leukemia is.  They are showing no signs whatsoever and we hope that they will shed the virus by the time they are six months old. We hope for a retest result of negative.   

A positive FeLV test in a cat is not necessarily a diagnosis. Many times, further testing is needed. An FeLV-positive test does not require euthanasia unless the cat is already ill and suffering beyond treatment. 

Here is some info on FELV
