Kitten FIV+ Question
Posted: Wed May 26, 2021 5:43 am
My wife and I found a stray kitten of 6-8 weeks yowling outside our apartment the other day. Yesterday, we got him tested and he was positive for FIV. After doing some digging, it seems SNAP testing before 6 months isn't reliable. Is that what other people have found, as well? We're debating having him tested with the PCR that looks at DNA.
We'd be fine holding onto him until six months but also have three other cats who all tested negative. It seems a kitten isn't a likely spreader, but we want to be careful since we have a 1 year old male who tends to like to play fight and probably shouldn't be left alone with the little guy.
