My understanding is that about 70% of adult cats are immune to FELV so it is
quite possible to mix UNvaccinated adult cats with a positive and have no
problems. It is also possible, if you have one of the remaining 30%, for it
to be transmitted even by saliva.

I had my FELV+ live with my UNvaccinated negatives for 18 months, all
groomed each other constantly. I had NO transmission. I think it is spread
by saliva to BLOOD contact, or blood to blood contact, predominately. If it
were spread by saliva to saliva, my other cats would have caught it.
