It wasn't a snap test.
Ir was a PCR.

Re: FIV positive kitten


Sorry to be naive but what is FIV? How does it effect the kitten? How old is the kitten? Would he be ok with my kittens?

Bless you ellenlouise. FIV is Feline immunodeficiency virus - it means the cat will have a suppressed immunity. Do a search for FIV on the internet, there's loads of useful info.

Re: FIV positive kitten


Smudgley is he one of the three kittens already chosen or the one waiting to be chosen?
If one already chosen will the people still take him. Poor little chap - yet maybe not what we consider to be a problem he'll ever know so will carry on as normal.
