You could try to get your existing cats down to zero titre before introducing another but you can't guarantee that any kitten you introduce will not be corona positive. If it were me, I would go ahead and get another, but just think this time about minimising stress.

Hi Liz,thanks very much for this;you are obviously extremely knowlegable about this.I got the results from the Vet on friday who said the results were consistent with FIP.She said,like yourself only to get a kitten that had a zero titre result.Also.she said I have to wait SIX MONTHS to get another kitten!!!! How do you reccomend I get my cats down to a zero titre reading...keep them calm & stress free ? Also ,can I only find out their reading by taking them to the vet?
I got another invoice from the Vets for 70 pounds as they said they did not charge me for it.So in 5 days it cost me five hundred pounds & that is before cremation !! Its ironic as Marty was the only cat I did'nt have insured.
I have seen a gorgous kitten avaliable locally but think I an condemning
it & my other cats to possible death.........
What do you think
