The family that owned Peaches found her abandoned outside a vacant

to the vet to discover that Peaches already was spayed. I don't know why

I think I would definitely get Peaches tested. If all your cats are indoors

chance they could get it. But if you're not letting them out and you're not

It's not uncommon in Kentucky for shelters/rescues to just vaccinate the cat
instead of testing them.
Lately, all I have done is fight to get them to test the animals. Apparently
it costs too much - but I think the cost is worth saving other cats from
getting exposed to FeLV.

Thanks everyone! My vet told me that Peaches would test positive because
she's had the FeLV vaccination.
I think I will call the vet that Peaches former owners took her to ask
them to test Peaches.
Thanks for the advice, I'll let you know what they say.

Vet is confusing FIV and FELV vaccines. Cats test pos for FIV after being
vaccinated for FIV but do NOT test pos for FELV after FELV vaccination.

Correct...don't ever get your cat/kitten vaccinated against FIV. It's too
controversial and it WILL show a positive result on a FIV test. FeLV will
not after a vaccination.

Christiane, my apologies for being so confusing, all the initials for

discuss with a vet that you trust about the FIV vaccine as well.

Sort of makes me crazy cause a found cat that test pos for FIV is almost
always euthanized in shelters. Who knows how many of those were owned cats
who, unfortunately, got the vaccine!

I didn't realize that this is what happens with FeLV vaccines? That's
terrible - it means that an abandoned or given up cat could tests positive
but only from a vaccine - I know it's the case with FIV Ft. Dodge vaccines,
that's why many vets don't like it very much!

No--happens only w. FIV vaccine.

Martha, I would find another vet. FeLV vaccine will never show a positive on
a test just b/c the cat has been vaccinated against it. It only happens with
FIV FIP vaccines.

From what I've read they WILL test positive for FeLV after vaccination with a
live vaccine. This happened at our shelter. I don't know how many days that
lasts, but she would not have a false positive at this point.

I am a licensed vet tech (though for the last year a stay at home Mom) and I

causing a false positive on a test. I will check with a few
it happened at our shelter. we vaccinated s wjole bunch of cats they got

Wow, that is really scary, I think I do remember you posting about this a while
ago. Did the manufacturer ever give any info after the vaccines were sent back?
Any explanation as to why the tests would be affected when the veterinary world
is told they won't?

This comes from total ignorance of how the vaccine is made, but could it
possibly have been that the manufacturer had not properly killed the virus
in this particular batch? Whatever happened, scary, but it's good that the
cats ultimately reverted.
