Can boarding catteries accept FeLV positive cats?
As stated above, FeLV can only be spread by direct contact from one cat to another; therefore boarding catteries should not be deterred from accepting an FeLV positive cat. Obviously an FeLV infected cat should be kept well away from contact with other cats, and, to be really safe, should be given his or her own litter tray and food bowls, which, like the cage, should be carefully disinfected with bleach (e.g. Domestos) or Virkon before using for another cat. A word of warning: never us a boarding cattery which allows the cats from different households to mix.
