So, for a while now, my sister has been feeding a stray cat in her boyfriend's apartment complex, a few months. And she's decided to adopt him. Yesterday she managed to catch him and she brought him home. She says the cat has no teeth and is pretty old.
Cutting right to the chase: she took him to the vet today for an exam and whatnot, and found out that he is FIV+! This makes me very, very anxious because I have a FIV- cat that will now have to be completely sheltered from the new male, even once he's settled in. As if I didn't have enough on my plate, now this! I have to make sure they never interact. The vet says the new cat is over 10 years old, and my cat just turned 7 and she's very rambunctious. Does anyone have any experience with FIV+ and FIV- cats living together?
