I've done that too - a friend of mine adopted 2 kittens quite a few
years ago - 1 kitten from our group, and 1 from another. The other
kitten at some point tested positive. She keeps the FELV+ kitten on
low dose interferon, and the other kitten vacccinated. They must be 6
or 7 years old now, still 1 pos and 1 neg.

Last year I adopted a FelV positive kitten to a couple who had two
neg. cats. They knew the kitten they wanted was positive, but they
fell in love with him and took him anyway. I kept him until their
other two cats were vaccinated against Felv and had time to build
up immunity. I'm still in touch with this couple, and all their
cats are doing fine, including the FelV pos. one who is now 18
months old.
People who adopt a FelV cat or kitten are tops in my book!

hard choices re: all the usual vaccines plus the FeLV one, but
these folks have taken on the task of dealing with a positive cat,
which rather raises them up on MY scale of being good cat-parents
if they're in love with the little one, and you can hold it long
enough for the two shots (which would give you a bit longer to do
the neutering, too), i'd probably go with them.
