Use the merial PUREVAX brand FELV vaccine, it is the safest one. I do think
that FIV+
cats who may be exposed should be vaccinated (once, no boosters needed). FIV
makes a
cat more prone to contract other things, including FELV.

why just once? doesn't it take two doses to establish immunity?
and, from experience, FIV cats are as likely to throw off FeLV as healthy
cats. in fact, FIV cats are HEALTHIER, in almost every sanctuary setting,
than strays and ferals are.

I personally don't believe in boosters. There's been no research done to
show they are required, as far as I am aware of. There have been studies
done that show that single vaccinations do produce immunity though. Please
share the studies if you know of any that suggest otherwise, as I am going

we're not talking about BOOSTERS, but the initial series of
innoculations. i know that when distemper was brought into the
sanctuary, adult cats who had only had one shot as an adult (as we didn't
know, of course, if they'd ever had their full series of kitten shots)
DIED many rescues
Any shot given after the first shot is a booster shot, as it boosts the
first one. There are studies that show that single doses of vaccines are
effective, though not all are CAT studies, but the immune system works much
the same in all mammals:

know that a single adult dose didn't protect against distemper, but that's a
particularly nasty little buggie--i know of other rescues that've had that
experience with it, too. as for other things, i have little doubt
I'm sure it varies vaccine to vaccine. Regardless... I wont vaccinate except
for one time (except rabies, where I have some legal consequences involved

I was shocked last night, going thru old papers, to see a comment
written on Momcat's notes in 2003, made by the vet who tested all six of
my ferals for FeLV and FIV. The chart said that Momcat had (alone of the
six) tested negative for FELV/FIV but the asterisked comment said that

never show any symptoms at all. But the notation you mention doesn't make any

might have meant by that.
That said, I wouldn't worry one little bit about the possibility of
Momcat having fiv. I certainly wouldn't put her through the great cat
round up just to have her retested. Did you read all those comforting
posts about my Star when he tested pos for fiv? Seriously
If it's the Elisa test, they base on on eyeballing the little circle that
appears. If they think they see a faint coloration, might still call it
FIV-Neg, but it's maybe really a faint positive. So it can be rather
subjective..

From: Susan Hoffman
it's quite possible for a snap test to be a faint positive--and tho
the estimates of false positives for FeLV on snap tests range from
20-80% (thanks, susan), they're generally held to be AT LEAST 40%
inaccurate for FIV. no sanctuary or rescue working with FIVs considers
a cat to be positive
much of a concern this must have been to the vet, since he
didn't point it out at the time.

A decision for euthanasia should never be made solely on the basis of
