She’s NEGATIVE!! â¨ââ¨

Noirette doesn’t have FeLV!

Oh. My. Gosh! That’s a relief and a half!

Black cat Noirette tested positive in a routine snaptest during her spay last week.

But after a PCR for confirmation, turns out the snaptest was a FALSE positive.

Phew!

What’s it all about?

Well FeLV (Feline Leukaemia) is a nasty and contagious cat virus that can cause all sorts of health issues and early passing.

Especially in kittens ð¥º

It’s passed from one stray cat to another through mutual grooming, eating from shared plates, breeding, fighting and nursing.

And if a pet cat is outside and comes into contact with the virus, they can get sick too!

ð¬

Another great reason to keep cats contained and safe.

We’ve cared for a lot of FeLV positive cats over the last 5 years, and I can tell you, it’s horrid! ð

BUT Noirette is in the CLEAR!

Time to celebrate!! ð¥
