Hi, so I found a stray kitten last week. He’s been doing great and we took him to the vet this morning. The vet said he seemed healthy and said we could introduce my 5 year old cat to the 3 week old kitten in a week. He said to just wait and see to make sure he doesn’t have any infections before introducing. He slightly mentioned FIV but didn’t seem too concerned. My family member told me that I cannot introduce them until the kitten gets tested so he can’t spread it. I couldn’t get him tested for another 3 weeks. How common is it for them to get it from their moms? I read that it’s not that common and the vet wasn’t concerned but now I’m nervous about him giving it to my 5 year old.
