Rahula FeLV Sanctuary

When rescue cats are tested positive for FeLV, rescuers find themselves in a challenging situation.

A Felv+ cat needs special care, or their health will deteriorate.
If they live on the street, there is a chance of them infecting other cats.
The most tragic is cats who are abandoned because of their FeLV status.

However, most rescuers have multiple rescue cats, so they have no physical space for a FeLV+ cat.
Meanwhile, there is a lot of misconceptions about FeLV, and some rescuers take the position of putting Felv+ cats to sleep.

The Idea!

As we have been rescuing FeLV+ cats, we decided to set up a private funded no-kill shelter sanctuary to care for and nurture FeLV+ cats.

FeLV+ cats need a clean environment, loving home, good quality complete food, medical check-ups and lots of love. Similar to other animals and humans!  With proper care, FeLV+ cats can enjoy quality lives, and some may become FeLV-.

Even at the palliative stage, they can still live comfortably and depart from a loving home. We do not believe in terminating the lives of a healthy cat. For palliative cases, euthanasia is a last resort to stop extreme suffering.

We name the sanctuary Rahula FeLV Sanctuary in memory of Rahula, the first FeLV+ cat we rescued.

We update news of the residents at  Rahula FeLV Sanctuary facebook.
