if the moms are negative, the odds of the kittens being positive go way way down, as the current research implies that babies are infected by passing through the birth canal and all its lovely bodily fluids, and through all the nursing and cleaning and caressing that mamacat gives the tiny ones. so if mom is negative, and the babies are n't living in a colony with positive surrogate mommies to help with the other stuff, they will probably be fine.

Hi all, How likely are the babies to be pos, if the mom is neg? I know that the babies can still turn neg if the mom is pos. I will still have them tested, just want to know what your experience is. Right now I have 2 litters with a neg/neg mom, and 3 litters with moms of unknown status.
