[Felvtalk] Just tested positive

[Marsha]

Milkdud was a young feral when I got him, about a year old.  He turned 
into a total cuddlebug.  Harley came to us as a kitten no more than 4 
months old.  He tested positive on both the ELISA and then the IFA test 
his first year, but will re-test at his next checkup, just in case he 
has had a rare conversion to negative.  But when he showed the 
beginnings of stomatitis in June, I think he is probably still positive.
