I'm devastated....

A rescuer's worst nightmare. I am sorry. Hopefully it can be proven to be a FALSE positive.

.....of course you are! I won't say I know how you feel because I've never been where you are but there is LES going on in Trenton

Prayers are being prayed for these sweet babies and [[[[HUGS]]]] are being sent for you.

Well, the test came back as a strong positive and the decision was made to have them PTS. They are gone now, happy to romp as forever kittens at the RB. Rest in Peace my little sweethearts. At least you knew love and warmth for a few days

I am so sorry to hear this. Poor little guys. But at least they knew love and caring while they were with you.

Rest easy little ones. (((((hugs))))) to you.

OH KIM! I am SO SORRY!!! Unfortunately the longer you are in rescue, you will come across these times! I know you've heard of it happening, but now it's happened to ones that you've actually held and loved and bonded with. It never gets easier, Kim, but you have to dwell on the times that things go well! You made a difference in those babies lives!

(((((((((((((BIG HUGS))))))))))))

Catnapper, you gave them the best days of their lives and saved them from the worst.

Godspeed to the Bridge, kittens.

[AbbyMom]

I'm so sorry. But I'm glad you gave them love and warmth for a little while.

A strong positive is a good indication that it wasn't a false positive...just in case I wasn't clear in my earlier post about those false positives.

The snap test they give in the office is not a YES/NO type of test. Instead, it has a range. At the bottom of the range (a weak positive) is where the false positives happen.

How heartbreaking for you.


Play hard at the bridge, kittens.

Kim, I'm so sorry to hear this. RIP little ones.

I Have Les Thinking Of Those Happy Faces , Now As Angels. What A Shame That They Did Not Have More Tiime With You Kim, But They Are Now Eternal Kitten Angels And Are With The Pet Angel Army Now And There Will Be A Huge Party For Them In Cartagena Columbia Tonight.
And They Will Always Remember The Love That You Showed Them Kim, And Will Be There For You As Part Of Your Angel Welcoming Commitee As The Love We Show Our Furry Ones Is Never Ever Forgotten. You Will See Them Again.
One Fine Day.

I am so sorry. RIP 3 more angels.

A VERY HAPPY update:
The kittens were NOT put to sleep. The vets agreed to foster them until they could be retested. I got an early Christmas present when I heard that!

Kim, this is wonderful news!!! I sure hope that they'll all test negative when they have their second FELV test. I'll continue to keep them in my thoughts and prayers.
