Thanks Nina, The vet has suggested we vaccinate all of Mary's cats. They will supply us the vaccine at cost price and let us do it, so this is the route we will take. Most of Mary's cats are healthy. A couple are elderley, one has kidney problems (but she isolates herself in Mary's bedroom by choice anyway) and two are FIV positive (but no symptoms). Keeping these two FeLV cats separate long term isn't really an option as it wouldn't be fair on them, I guess we can just vaccinate the rest. From what I'm seeing here, FeLV isn't that easy to spread anyway, Mary can feed the two positive cats separately to minimize the risk even further. She's not the sort of person to panic about these things, and the vet isn't being alarmist either so hopefully all will turn out well. You never know, they may re-test negative anyway. The annoying thing is that when these cats first came in a couple of months ago they were all taken in by a vet in the area and supposedly tested. One was really poorly (collapsed) and did test positive, she was pts. The others were all negative - this is why we are really hoping these two will get over this and come back clear. Some have been rehomed already too and we've had no comebacks.
