Our first kittens (brothers) we adopted were FELV+ when we adopted them. The one chose me as his human barely made it 1 and a half. His downturn was so fast that I had to have the second one put to sleep within days of him starting to show labored breathing. Coming home from the vet with an empty cage was one of the hardest things I had to do

Our current kittens (litter maidens) are one and a half now, and seem to be healthy, but understandably, I’m paranoid...
