Re: Does FeLV vaccine cause false positive on SNAP tests?

No, unlike the FIV vaccination, the FELV vaccination doesn't cause  
them to test positive.  If they do test positive, however, it's a good  
idea to retest.

Hi, all,

This has probably been covered before here, but please permit me to  
ask a newbie question:

If a cat who shows up at a shelter has been vaccinated against FeLV  
but nobody knows it, does he test positive on the SNAP combo test?

This really grinds my gears that cats get euthanized based on this  
test if this is so. I've lost two really nice potential Siamese  
Rescue intakes this way (we don't take positives in our program and  
my local SPCA's policy is to euthanize positives).
