What they will do first is the office snap test which
takes about 10 minutes where you either get a color
change or not. If it changes, it's a positive. If not,
it's a negative. It's pretty standard when you bring a
kitten in to get his shots and they test him or her
first for FeLV before giving the vaccine.
