Jane, the vet told me he was going to hold off on any immunizations and when and if we did do them, they would have to be ordered because he wouldn't be getting the same vaccinations as a healthy cat. I'm wondering if the regular immunizations are live viruses and perhaps cats with feline leukemia get non live ones?

I was looking to adopt a FeLV kitty (to be a friend to my other FeLV) and I was inquiring about cats that they had. I asked if they would be spayed or neutered prior to adoption and she emphatically said NO. She said that if they were not already fixed, they definitely do NOT recommend that type of surgery on a cat with leukemia, due to their already fragile immune systems. (I chose to wait until I could find one who was already fixed because I definitely like my cats to be altered.) Just a little food for thought - I would hate to have something happen to your friend during a surgery!
