Hi everyone,
I have a colony of former feral cats that I look after, and a new cat joined last summer. He's an older cat, was very friendly and obviously someone's lost pet. I put him on facebook but sadly never found his home.
He is happy now with me and I have neutered and chipped him and he lives mostly indoors now. He was a little ill last week so I brought him to the vets and got bloods done, including FELV and FIV. His FIV has come back positive. He's in good health otherwise. However I have 8 other cats in the household and im worrying about transmission. I've never had a proper cat fight, they're all pretty chill and used to each other. The other cats have not been tested (because the rest of them are proper former ferals and would have to be trapped and sedated for a vet examination).
Does anyone have any experience with FIV cats or advice for having FIV cats live with non FIV cats? I wont be giving anyone up unless I absolutely have to, but dont want to put the other cats at risk either.
