We recently adopted a cat through People for Animals. Our first cat,
also adopted through them, has been fantastic...most of the time. When
we adopted the 2nd cat we were told she was about six months old, she
had all of her shots and was FHIV -. She has wrapped my wife, myself
and the older cat around her little paw. After a month we inquired
about certification of FHIV testing. They mailed us a form that stated
that she was two months younger than we were told and that she has a
2nd degree heart murmur. I am not upset about the age because she is
growing quite rapidly and has doubled her size weight in the time we
have had her. The murmur worries me. As a child we had a collie with a
murmur. The vet said she would not live past three and would never
deliver puppies. She lived to be 18, and had three litters totalling 15
puppies. Should I be concerned about the murmur and how does the
"degrees" factor in? Thank you in advance.
