When Annie was diagnosed, my vet told me that I had 2 choices;  pout her down or keep her and watch carefully for signs of the disease along with vaccinating my other cats for FELV.  Annie hs never had any problems.  I had one other that showed up at my house with a lot of problems.  She had her tail bitten off by a raccoon, was close to starving.  With good food, clean water and a house to live in, she lasted over 2 years.  She died from a UTI and stones.  Please explain to possible adopters that this is not a death sentence.  With good food, care and love, this kitten could last many years.
