oops. hit the send key too soon....
as far as i know, there are no documented cases of VACCINATED negative cats contracting FeLV from living closely with positives--so if you have a positive kitty that you want to mingle, you have to weigh the pros and cons of vaccinating your other cats.
ie, yeah, what tonya said!

Gary Murphy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:Just to be devil's advocate here, I have read of at least one list member who had 3 of 6 healthy, adult, unvaccinated cats contract Felv after they had long term exposure to a false negative cat. One made it, two didn't. This does not seem to be the experience of most of the members on this list, but you should know that it can happen. Like Nina said, it comes down to a personal decision of risk vs. benefit. In my house, our positive kitten had already spent his first 3-4 months with his negative siblings, we vaccinated the negs (PureVax, adjuvant-free) and our adult cat and let them mix. So far, so good...Best wishes,Bethdede hicken wrote:> Posted yesterday, and this question didn't get> answered.
