Lisa--good for you for taking such good care of this little guy. And you have come to the right place for help--folks here are the most knowledgeable I've ever found. I've mixed and never had a problem. Also, it is always possible that a kitten can throw off the virus so you may want to retest several months from now if the IFA is pos. And know that no matter what happens, you will never never never regret letting that little ball of fur into your heart...

Any and all advice is welcomed. I'm very new to this, and have been going between feeling hopeful about things, and bursting into tears. I love him so much.
