Tequila has 4 white paws and a big white bib. He is the boss...he loves to play with mom and anyone else. He has 2 brothers (Piñata and Rum D Rum) and a sister (Margarita).
Madeline (Tequila's mom) tested positive for FIV. Tequila and his siblings all tested positive for FIV (all negative for FeLV) also. However, kittens of FIV positive cats often have a false positive FIV test since they receive their mom's antibodies and the FIV test looks for FIV antibodies and not the FIV virus. Piñata and his siblings will need to be retested for for FIV in 6 months (mid-October 2015) to see if they are actually FIV positive.
FIV positive cats are able to live with FIV negative cats as long as they enjoy the company of other cats. Below are some links with information on FIV.
