I have heard not to test for fiv less than 6 months. You can test for felv any
time, And at anytime they could have just been exposed and may test negative in
3-6 months after exposure. That's at any age, although positive kittens who
had a known positive mother are less likely to throw the
indication.

Hi,
Just when I found placement for the adult feluk positive, now three kittens
need placement. The woman was going to take them to the vet to pts them, but I
told her I would take them and find a home for them. They are about 8-9 weeks
old and tested positive yesterday. Need help yet
If they are 8-9 weeks old, SNAP tests are very inaccurate. I would
not even bother testing a kitten that age. They need to be retested
in 6 months to see if they are actually positive or not.

. This usually
clears away by 4 to 6 months so, testing kittens for FIV before that doesn't
give a true indication.

It is a fact that many kittens that test pos at 8 weeks will test neg.
at 16 weeks...
Some people say 6 months to be sure but from my personal experience the
test at 16 weeks is about 80% accurate
A word about Jeni... She is very active in short term fostering and holding
kitties until she
