I think the only way to get a 'true' test on felv kittens is to test them asap
and then wait at least 60 days (preferably 90). Keep them totally away from
other cats, and then retest. This is so hard to do that I don't think anyone
can judge a cat at any age as positive or negative from one te
lled 'high quality' foods.

Hi,
We've had several FIV cats and they've all lived well into their teens.

I don't know why. I think most people just wait on both tests (at shelters)
until the kittens are old enough to combo test. I think you could give the
leukemia test at any age. Honestly, if I were taking in a new cat I would not
even test it as a requisite to taking it in at this point.

my unscientifix explanation is that they can be tested for felv at any age, but
you won't know if that's a 'true' positive for at least 3 months of time. 3
months that you KNOW they are not with any other exposed cat. I see it as
impossible in the real world. I wish the test had never even been
What, exactly, is the question? Do you want to know why you can test for FeLV
at any age?

Although many vets test sooner, my vet feels that you get the more accurate
results if you wait until 3 months.
