FIV is a non-issue and there is no guarantee that either the Mom or babies contracted FIV from the male. We had two outside ferals and the male had FIV, the female was pregnant when we caught her and had her fixed, she tested negative and after living outside with Charlie for a year (he went missing this past summer and we brought SuzieQ inside), she tested negative when we brought her inside. Besides, even cats WITH FIV live a long and healthy life and the chances of giving it to another cat (if they are all fixed) is very slim. FIV is INFECTIOUS, not contagious, big big difference. You don't "catch" HIV from living with someone with HIV, only through blood and bodily fluids, same thing with FIV.

Your vet knows NOTHING about FIV! It’s a lot different than FeLV!!!! I can guarantee that they will be fine. DO NOT ABORT THIS LATE – each baby has to be taken out and killed! I don’t have time to write now, but I can e-mail you personally later, if that’s OK! I have had dozens of FIV mothers whose babies were ALL fine!
