Donna, I'll have to dig up the Catnip Newsletter I have regarding FIP. From what I recall it is much less contagious than many think. About 5-10% of exposed kitties contract it, and it's more genetics involved in spreading it. That's why some breeders get it (Leslie can fill you in on her Cheops...from a breeder). I have had FIP 2x in all the years rescuing, and with several hundred cats coming through my doors! I think FeLV is much more contagious to others! But the little one most likely will get adopted fast being it's spring.
