We always give the initial series of FELV vaccinations to all cats we adopt out. MC is right, as usual. My old vet said he had NEVER seen a case of sarcoma he felt was caused by a vaccine, but he had seen plenty of cats with FELV. On Tue, Apr 6, 2010 at 5:23 AM, MaryChristine wrote: > the inject

I have 10 cats and had I had 11 when the outbreak occurred. Of those cats, the ones who had one vaccination given by me did not become infected. Part of that would be bc of natural immunity and part i believe is bc the original vaccine gave them immunity. Those shots were given 6 or 7 years before
