Well I found a kitty yesterday while out trail riding. Pending anyone claiming him, it looks like he’s possibly going to push our house into crazy cat family status at number 5. So my first order of business was to have him tested for feline leukemia just to make sure he was safe to be in the house with my other cats. The vet however told me that since he is so young (10-12 months) that the test wouldn’t really be necessary. She told me that he’s not really susceptible at that age and since he appears healthy and my other cats are fully vaccinated that it would be a waste of money to test him.
But before I lifted his quarantine, I wanted to do a little more research and make sure that was indeed true. Any thoughts? I just don’t want to take any chances. Thanks.
