I'm pretty sure he meant if the cat was vacinnated against FIV, not FeLV. I
haven't heard anyone talking about FeLV vaccinated cats testing positive,
but the Fiv vaccine will definately make them test positive for FIV and the
worst part is that the vaccine is ineffective against the most common strain
of FIV in the US.

Subject: FeLV + test results
I learned something the other day I did not know. If a cat is vaccinated
against getting FeLV all its life it will test positive. So it could
very well be that a rescue cat that tests positive is not. This is what
my new vet told me. I feel this all the more reason not to put down
those that test positive.
