nope, cats CAN indeed test negative on the IFA if they were tested before they had thrown off the virus. it can take up to six or seven months for a negative IFA to become positive, tho even with the IFA, 120-days is the norm.
in rescue, most cats never are given the chance to HAVE an ifa in the first place, no less to be retested even once. if the cat has a home and it's important to know the status, then retesting is great....
