Kittens seem more susceptible. I am one of those that has mixed positives and negatives for almost 3 yrs. But my negatives were current on their FeLV vaccine before I started mixing and they get annual booster shots. It really is an individual decision. My 1st vet wanted to PTS Sissy and Rocket just because they were FeLV+. Then she wanted to notify AC to kill all the cats in the colony I rescued them from. Told her no way were we going to kill Sissy and Rocket and no way was I telling anyone where the colony was. PETA is another group intent on killing all FeLV kitties. Some never mix and some mix very successfully. I my case I was bringing positive kittens into a home with vaccinated adult negatives. 7 of my 8 positive kittens have now crossed the Rainbow Bridge and there has been to issues with my negative cats.
