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.
A healthy kitten can be spayed or neutered once it's eight weeks of age and two pounds in weight. Sadly, though, a lot of vets are behind the times and still wait till six months. Considering kittens can reach sexual maturity as early as FOUR MONTHS this is a bit ridiculous.
