FIV Kittens

alexgirl73 · 28-02-2008, 09:19 PM

I don't suppose anyone knows of anyone looking for an FIV kitten? We had a mum and 2 kittens brought in a few weeks ago who all tested positive. It looks like mum has found a home, but the 2 little ones are still looking.

Sorry can't help but if I hear of anyone I will let you know. Good luck in finding them a loving home.

Have you tried Purrs Alex? Do you know if it was the inhouse test?
Can you pm me your email addy?

I know a lady looking for an FIV!

Tell me a bit more about them & I can let her know if you like....

well from what I know Smudgley they are 8/9 weeks old, preferably to go together. They are both boys, ginger and ginger and white. Very cute! They will be ready to go in approx 4 weeks when they are neutered. And of course they will be vaccd etc, plus we have now started microchipping. All the usual home visits etc and that's as much as I know just now. I dont know if it was an inhouse test Elaine.

It couldn't be the elisa test Elaine if they know 2 are positive, they are too young to test.

She wouldn't have 2 - I know that.
She has a FIV adult, she had her from me. She has been already been home checked by our branch.

Excuse my vet sceptical nature but do the definately know the kittens are FIV+, if they are too young to test? I mean they may have done the elissa test on mum and made the assumption.

they are too young to Elisa test. But can be PCR tested at this age.
