AWWWH cute... will the babies have FIV??
It's very doubtful they'll have FIV. If the mom was bitten really hard while he was mating with her outside, it's a possibility she may have it, but the offspring most always seri-convert (ward off the virus after maternal antibidies leave their systems) and test negative by six months at the most. Leslie had a litter of older FIV + kittens that all tested positive at first, then negative several months later.
