actually, I think someone on this list had one who was vaccinated but turned positive. And I am pretty sure that the shelter where my cats came from, at which some of the positives live with negative ferals who are vaccinated, a few of the ferals have turned positive over the years.

while the vaccine is said to be only 85% effective, no one that we can find can show a documented case of a truly negative, vaccinated cat ever contracting FeLV from living closely with a positive. which makes sense, since they say that up to 70% of healthy ADULT cats who are not vaccinated can be exposed and throw the virus off. so some of us question that 85% rate, and wonder if it's not across all populations, including the high-risk ones.
