Thank goodness Riley tested negative and Caramel (11 years old) seems to be accepting Mr. Riley W. Orange.

Please adopt from shelters and rescues. Their days may be numbered through no fault of their own.
I had the first test within 30 minutes and it showed it was negative. The vet said I needed to wait twelve weeks because it took twelve weeks to show up. So the results of the 30 minutes test was for exposure twelve weeks prior. Everyone at the vets was quite happy with the results as I was.
