stripped from their names. i think of the people who write us because

When I first took my gang in for testing(. I already knew I had a positive

positive and lived twelve years after that. As Far as I know a healthy 12

vet says the vaccine is 90+% effective. My 6 negatives were
vaccinated and all are over 5 years old. My vet and I agreed that
mixing my one positve with the others had very little risk.

time wasn't known) ever becoming
good to hear that...Just a thought on Cornell's position on FELV. It is
better to err by being overly cautious don't you think. IMO

Here is my take on it for what it is worth.
I had 11 cats at the time of the outbreak. 4 cats wound up positive and I
had two cats PTS as they were very ill. One of my positives died of
something else. The others cats had high exposure to the virus and did not
get sick. Which meant natural immuni
3 of my cats lived with one of my FELV+ for 5 years until I found out the
4th whad been positive all along. They shared the same food bowls, litter,
toys; groomed each other, etc. All 3 were tested when I found the 4th was
pos and all 3 were neg. I did vaccinate them at that point. While kitten
ound out he was negative. That was over 5
years ago. He was removed from the room at the time and is still alive and well!

I personally strongly recommend that you DO not vaccinate your kitties
with feLK vaccinations. My holistic vet tells me, and I agree, the
vaccination will suppress their immune system significantly (even if
temporarily) and sometimes, when they get vaccinations, it cause the

Jen,
It is common for kittens to test positive if infected by the mother
and then test negative later.
But why is she "due" for an FELV vaccination? FELV vaccinations aren't
routine. Is she going to be kept with positive kitties or is she going
to be an outdoor cat?
