So, a while ago, I wrote:
Does anybody know if there is a way of testing prospective cats to make sure they have already been exposed (and hence have immunity)?
I've now found out a bit more. Yes there is indeed a test, but it costs £95 (or £120 to include Felv and FIV feline immunodeficiency tests as well).
So that's quite a dilemma. Say we went to a shelter and found a new adult cat, there's every chance it will already have been exposed to toxoplasma and will hence now not be shedding occysts, so therefore will pose no threat to the sheep. However, is it really worth a hundred quid to find that out? I really don't know
.
Maybe we could keep it indoors for six months and force feed it field voles?
