Hi guys,
Do adult cats with unknown histories who come into rescue need one FELV
innoculation or two? (one plus booster). I know distemper vaccines need to
be boostered in kittens, what about FELV?

Adult cats do not need FELV vaccines. The only exception to that would be if
you KNEW the cat was going to be living in a household with FELV+ cats, and
even then, it's not required, just recommended. Healthy adult cats develop
natural immunity. Adult cats with unknown histories should get a FVRCP
This is what my vet emailed me when I asked him about this.
The term Vaccine Associated Sarcomas has fallen out of favor and now
termed Injection Site Sarcoma because they now believe that it is not the
vaccine, but the actual injection of a foreign substance. I use the
Purevax for distemper
Those of us who do rescue know all too well how devastating distemper can be.
If one cat gets in your household with it good luck getting rid of it. It can
live for 10 years or more. I had to bleach my hardwood floors. Carpeting has to
be removed before you can bring in another unvaccinated
