Explanation of test results: If the result of the HCV RIBA is positive, this confirms that the detection of a hepatitis C antibody (anti-HCV) was a true positive, meaning that there has been infection with hepatitis C in the past.
Kittens should be spayed or neutered when they reach sexual maturity, which is usually between four and six months of age. However a cat can be safely spayed or neutered at any age, so even older adopted cats should have this procedure. Some rescue organizations participate in a âcatch and releaseâ program where homeless cats are captured, neutered or spayed and released. This is considered more humane than euthanizing strays.
Cats can be spayed/neutered as long as they weigh at least 2lbs, are 8 weeks old, and are healthy. My friend does a lot of spay/neuter clinics in low cost areas and a neuter is extremely easy (it literally takes 10-15 minutes). I've had first hand experience seeing kittens spayed at 10 weeks.
