Tuckered Out

I have three kittens left out of five born to my newest addition. They were born in early July and have been in my care since they were just a few weeks old (the mother had them somewhere else and I had to find them). These kittens have been pampered and loved and spoiled as they should be, and now they are ready to go to loving parents. One is a dark grey with very unique facial markings (orange colors here and there like her mommy) while the other two are orange and look like twins except for a white "bib" on the chest of one. They are all females and have been seen by my vet. You should know that there is a slight chance that any of them could be FIV+ (not to be confused with feline leukemia) and can be tested at 6 months (February) although if they are going to a household with other cats that have been vaccinated for FIV, this will not be an issue IF the kittens are even positive at all. There is no way to know right now; they must be tested at 6 months of age. And if you have no other cats, it really isn't an issue other than keeping an eye on their health which we all do anyway, right? My vet assures me that they will live long, happy lives even if they are positive but they MUST go to a responsible parent who can and will take them to the vet if they become ill because of their suppressed immune system/s. The mother is FIV+ and is doing very well and will be remaining with me. I would be happy to send photos and I am in Ohio, so if you are in or near Ohio, it would be best. Thanks for looking!! :)
