My vet no longer recommends FeLV vaccine, either. Tessa, my last rescue, has not been vaccinated for FeLV. She was tested and isolated before being introduced to the others. I have usually tested new cats at least twice before introducing to the others. I don't have any FeLV+ cats living in my house. If I did, I would vaccinate the others - at least the first shot and first booster. My vet thinks the first two (30 days apart) will protect for life. L

DC area just told me her vet no longer recommends vaccines for FelV. In her case, she had a cat she adopted who was FelV pos. and he died at 18 months of age. She had her other two cats vaccinated last year when she found out he was pos. and when she went to get their annual FelV boosters she was told they don't recommend them. I'm not sure if this means just the boosters or any FelV shots. Have any of you heard anything about this?
