Hi Chris,
Welcome to the group. I had rats for several years, and I thought
they were terrific pets, even tho many people were horrified at
the idea of petting a rat :-)
I have 15 rescued cats at home and 12 cats in a separate building
who were all exposed to FelV. They are all over 2 years

I'm sure you've got a lot of replies already. If I were in your situation I would keep them separated until your 3 year old cat gets the felv vaccine and booster. Then wait maybe 2 more weeks after that, and let the cats be together. That's what I have done with no transmission so far

That's a really good suggestion. I think I'll print out some info on

Yes, immunoregulin is IV injections.
