    PLEASE!!! Do NOT end his life. FIP is not a death sentence. His testing positive simply means that he was exposed to it. It doesn't mean he has it.

    My cat MooShoo tested positive for FIP when he was 10 weeks old. He's now a fat, healthy 6 year old Sphynx. I also have 3 other cats that live, eat, sleep and play with MooShoo. They're all healthy.

    The best thing you can do for him is have him neutered and let him back out with his pals.

    Rest In Peace Casey (Bubba Dude) Your paw print will remain on my heart forever. 12/02

    MooShoo,you left me too soon.I wasn't ready.Know that you were my soulmate and have left me broken hearted.I loved you like no other. 1999 - 2010See you again "ONE FINE DAY"
    Maya Linn, my heart is broken. The day your beautiful blue eyes went blind was the worst day of my life.I only wish I could've done something.I'll miss your "premium" purr and our little "conversations". 1997-2013 See you again "ONE FINE DAY"

    Look in Cat Health for Miley's thread. She was tested positive last week Looks as if the tests only can tell whether a cat was exposed to a certain corona virus and nobody can predict whether that virus will change to be maligne. And it looks as if 80% of cats tested positive never develop FIP.

    Of course -if they develop the symptoms then there is no other solution than to put them to sleep.

    So we hope that this feral boy will live a long and happy and neutered life.

    If he is released can he spread FIP?

    How is it spread?

    How do you test for it?

    Mine have been tested for LEUK & FIV but I've never heard of FIP until I saw it on here about a month or so ago.

    Fip

    Do you know how old this cat is? When Groucho was about 5 months old and about to be neutered our vet ran some pre surgery tests. He tested positive for FIP. Our vet said that since he was under 6 months old, he may have tested positive for his mother's antibodies so she tested him again 6-8 weeks later. Those results were better but not quite what she wanted so he was tested again 6-8 weeks later. That time everything came out fine. Groucho had his surgery and all went well. He'll be 5 years old in March and is now in excellent health. You may want to talk to your vet to see if this is possible. I hope this kitty will be okay.....
