Honestly, I have had this argument with a vet before and he finally admitted (after I dumped a rather large stack of research on his desk) that 'oh well I thought it was better you spend your resources on an adoptable cat, rather than one no one will want'
This is a rescue that doesn't euthanise for FIV status and have several up for adoption, but not their usual vet. And sure enough, the cat tested negative on his followup SNAP test (at a different vet
)
That being said, the rescue won't adopt out FIV+ cats to a negative household, they either go with another FIV+ rescue, to a FIV+ home or by themselves because someone threatened to sue them when taking a FIV+ cat if he bit her resident cat (she wasn't allowed to adopt but it made them aware of the potential for a lawsuit)
