An fiv test is not accurate until a cat is around 6 months old. I wouldn't worry about it until then. Even then I wouldn't worry about it. As stated fiv is rarely transmitted between neutered/spayed cats.. if ever! I have NEVER heard of it being transmitted except through males

I was very sad to read about Miss Kitty's passing. You helped her and her kids out, when many would not have done the same. I think there are people who are wont to give in to treating animals like appliances, and if the cat doesn't work then they take it back or get rid of it. Possibly a
