Meet Ember (tiny but mighty) and Courage (a teenage dream). Two fabulous kitties with even bigger personalities and an even bigger capacity for love.
These sweethearts have regressive FeLV, which might sound scary… but let’s break it down.
About 30–40% of cats exposed to FeLV develop what’s called a regressive infection. That means:
• The virus is present in their DNA
• Their immune system keeps it under control
• They are NOT actively shedding the virus
• They cannot infect other cats during this regressive stage
• They’re very unlikely to show symptoms
In simple terms? Their immune systems are doing their job.
The only time reactivation could happen is if they become severely immunosuppressed (serious illness, certain medications, etc.). With routine vet care and a stable home, many regressive FeLV cats live happy, normal lives.
Now for the logistics:
Ember and Courage can
They just cannot live with FeLV-negative cats.
What they can do?
So… are you brave enough for Courage?
And warm enough for Ember?
