[Felvtalk] stray kitten positive any advice for me

2011-11-07 Thread dppl dppl
I came across this site, having just been informed by the vet that the abandoned kitten I took in three weeks ago. Before I took it to the vet,  I have been keeping it in a separate room but admit that since it seemed so healthy I let it out for little walks.  I have 4 cats over 12 years old.

I still have Mitt, the kitten I found in October who tested positive. He seems to be healthy at this time and  around 7-8 months old. I am thinking I should have him neutered but the local humane society refused to do surgery on a positive cat, claiming surgery could trigger an immune system

 Melinda, thanks for taking the time to respond so quickly. My fear is, if this vet didn't want to draw blood since she said cat's gums started turning blue, how will she  endure further testing?  How much stress should I put her through? She was born to a feral cat, I have had her over 13
