It can happen.
(Catching felv. from a kitten @ 4 yrs. old).
Ursula came from a hoarder / breeder, along w/ Serenity & Lola.
Lola & Serenity came to me from the pound after being seized by AC, they were
both a "hot" pos.
Ursula came form the same house, but tested neg / neg.
Ursula was a "breeder", and she lived in a cage most of her life, I can tell by
the way she walks.
She is about 5 yrears old or so.
Anyway, I isolated her in a bathroom since in my eyes, she was a "limbo" cat.
In otherwords, she had an exposure but tested neg. upon me getting her.
I took her in for her spay 2 months later and she tested a "soft" pos. for leuk.
Due to the circumstances, I did not see any reason to do anymore elaborate
tests.
She came from a pos. house, where 65 other cats w/ the exception of a few
kittens tested pos.
If you know the history of the situation of the cat & it's former living
conditions, saying she is pos. after one test is a reasonable call.
She has so far not show any symptoms, and it's been almost a year.
Lola seems ok so far, she does sleep a lot.
Lillian came from a hoarder w/ 185 cats, she tested pos. for leuk., while
others in the house tested neg. but others also tested pos.
I have 12 more that are in "limbo", and we will begin retesting them in about 2
to 3 weeks.
We are going w/ a 4 month incubation period.

I would wait 3 months and retest. I find it hard to believe that he would
have 'caught' felv from a kitten at 4 years old.....
