Hazelnut is one beautiful Lynx Point Siamese mix. Her foster mom says she looks like a tiger with all her fancy stripes. This sweet and playful girl loves to play with everyone including her siblings. She would love to be adopted with one of her littermates (Winter, Aci, Windy, or Frijole). We know she will keep her new family entertained and provide lots of unconditional love.

Hazelnut’s mama is FIV positive and it is very common for FIV antibodies to be passed along to her kittens so Hazelnut has tested positive for FIV. It is important to understand that these tests look for the presence of the FIV antibodies but they do not look for the presence of FIV.

While maternal antibody transmission is common, transmission of the disease is extremely uncommon. It is recommended that Hazelnut be tested again in six months after the maternal antibodies have worn off and a more accurate test result can be obtained. In most cases, kittens will retest negative, and be FIV-free.
