One of the vet sites does specifically
mention that "Young cats and kittens under one year of age, and cats with
compromised immune systems are more susceptible to FELV."
FIV is "immunodefiency syndrome" thus
plopping them right directly into that "compromised immune system" category
that's more susceptible to FELV.
Mind you, even the vet sites are often
full of shit as far as having solid research to back up their statements and
policy. (I think this was the Cornell site)
