When we rescued Sam in 2009 his lap tests showed that he tested positive for feline leukemia and AIDS. The attending veterinarian recommended that we put Sam down because he felt our cat would suffer and that his life expectancy was short. Four years later I am playing with Sam on the floor and he does not have feline leukemia or AIDS, he did test positive for feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV).
My husband and I are so happy that we did not follow the recommendation from the veterinarian who tested Sam for the cat viruses. We waited seven months and had Sam retested and the new veterinarian said that our cats first test was a false positive or that Sam did not have feline Luekemia
It is very important to get your cats retested if they show a positive for Feline Leukemia. Never accept the positive results from one test only.
On Sam's anniversary we let him have full run of the house and he was allowed to play with the dogs. He had a fantastic time. Here are some photographs.
