Feline Lukemia, Contagious?
Hi I recently had to put down a kitten who had Lukemia. I only had her for one day but she touched my heart. My question is.... The kitten was only in one room in my home, I have cleaned the floor with pine sol, washed the sheets (which covered the couch) with bleach, sprayed everything with disinfectant spray and disposed of food, water and liter containers... how long should I wait before putting a new kitten in that room?? I want to make sure that if and when I adopt a new kitten it will not get sick. Any advice??

Sorry to hear about your kitty. The room should be safe for a new cat by now: http://www.vet.cornell.edu/fhc/brochures/felv.html

Any reason why you had to put it down? Was it even symptomatic?
I had to put a kitten down a few years ago just a few days after I moved into my new house (before Socks even came around!) because they just told me it wasn't going to live. So I question everything now.
