My vet has vaccinated his cats against felv every year, and one of his has
turned pos.
I have heard that it's 70 / 30 crapshoot, but I could be wrong.

am really new to this whole situation. Adopted an abandoned tuxie and at 9
months he just got sick. 2 days later he was in massive shock and unable to
survive much more. My vet put him down while I held him. He told me he tested
positive for Felv. I then brought in my others a 3 year old and a 4 year old.
My 4 year old female is negative. My 3 year old male is positive. I have had
both since they were kittens and they have always received all vaccinations
yearly. I brought a kitten in that was a mess and he spent a week at the vet
just trying to save him. He did initially test negative for Felv. He had also
received his shots. I don't know what to think, but I am living proof you can
vaccinate your cats for years and they can contract this virus. My boy is doing
well now. He seems perfectly healthy. I don't know much about this virus but I
have learned that vaccinations do not always work.
