Hi! I rescued Jack about 3 months ago and he is FeLV+ ) I took him from an
abusive home with the intention of finding him a wonderful home). I have 6
other cats, Mr.Furley (5yrs), Lucky (1 1/2 yrs), Ralphie, Janet, and Cleo
(each 1 yr), and Furby (10 months). Everyone else has been tested for FeLV and
is negative. I am unable to continue keeping Jack separated from the others and
I have not been able to find him an appropriate home. I went to the holistic
veterinarian who recommended vaccinating all - cats against FeLV and allowing
them to mix. She said that FeLV is most often transmitted through bites etc. I
have read sooooo much info about FeLV being transmitted through saliva (all of
my cats are VERY friendly and all groom eachother) and that 2 shots are given
then an annual booster is recommended. I guess my questions are as follows:
What are your experiences with mixing negatives and positives?
Have any of your vaccinated cats contracted the disease?
How long after vaccinating do I need to wait before introducing them? (Vet said
48 hours).
Any info would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thank you very much
