Don't worry, Phil. I definitely will not have him euthanized. He's
been a stray (or I guess I should say part of the trap-neuter-return
program) for at least 2 years and he could probably live many more. He
looks healthier than most cats I've seen in pet shops. A woman who is
a permanent resident here feeds him every night.

He's kind of cautious around me now (he didn't like that cat carrier
much) but I'll do my best to catch him in the next week or so and get
the Western Blot test done. One vet quoted me a price of $75, but it's
worth it to get a more definitive answer on this.

Thanks,

Sheri

Sheri, that sounds like a good price to me! The VCA vet I went to charged
about $150 for the same test!
