I also think its ok to have fiv positive and negative cats together if they dont fight. Its a very fragile virus in the environment  ;D

Personally I would have no problem with having an FIV cat with my lot.
Infact N0 11 was an un-neutered stray so chances are he is prob FIV

FIV is alot harder to pass on than people think

That's correct, there is very little risk of FIV being passed on even in multi-cat environments as long as they don't bite etc.

No risk whatsoever in your friend's situation.

Thanks for the info Michelle.  One of my friends was asked to look after a lovely tabby and wants to but we weren't sure what the situation is.  Thats great.

This is just a general query about cats with FIV.  I know they can only live as a single cat or with others who have the same illness, but would you be able to home non-infected cats when the FIV ones were no longer with you?
