Wee Seville was born 4/26/21. Her momma was killed by a car, and the litter wound up in their local humane society system being bottlefed and raised by a volunteer. At their 6-week check-up, the whole litter tested positive for FIV. Given all of them tested positive, the most likely explanation is that the kittens carry the antibodies from their FIV+ momma and will test negative by the time they are 6 months old. Regardless, FIV is no longer feared in rescue as it isn't readily transmissible and doesn't shorten their lifespan. [FIV Myths And Facts - FIV Cat Rescue] Wee Seville is very outgoing, very sweet, and extremely loving. They all are people obsessed and love to climb on up for loving, assisting with all chores, and knowing that laps are theirs. Seville has been spayed and vaccinated against distemper x2. She is available for adoption for $60.
UPDATE: All the kittens tested NEGATIVE for FIV on 8/3/21. As expected, they were only carrying their momma's antibodies. None is infected.
