Very sad isn't it. There's about a 10% chance it can pass from mom to kittens, although it's thought that it isn't passed via the placenta - but through excessive saliva when cleaning / grooming them when tiny. Poor little poppet. |

Poor thing, but its not the end of the world for him. With the help of a good carer he may well have a long and happy life. I just feel FIV cats get such bad press, poor things xxx |

Might be an idea to have him tested when he's 6 mths and 1year as he may still be carring antibodies from his mum which can show up positive on a snap test. Fingers crossed  |

It's something very close to my heart. I took on an older FIV stray black cat and he was the sweetest cat ever. I hope the kitten can find someone that's willing to look past the bad PR and give it the loving home it deserves. |
