Roxane.. I have two felk kitties and oh.. I have 6 FIV kitties.. and many many other kitties who are neither... I have to say.. and I am grateful to say that all of my Felk kitties and FIV kitties are as healthy as.. or maybe more healthier than my kitties are not tested positive either for felk or FIV.. don't let the test result determine their lives... many felk and FIV kitties live for years.. on the other hand... many non felk and FIV kitties may not live as long due to other illness... so, please just love them, and love them..
And it's great that you put on raw meat diet.. maintenance of strong immune system is very important for all of kitties, but especially more so for our felk and FIV kitties due to already compromised immune system.. I think you are a wonderful mother to them..
