Laurie,
I can appreciate your post. There are studies that say that vaccination
helps the FELV kitty and others that say just the opposite. I have found
that vaccination of positive cats decreases their survivability in the
immediate situation. (Who knows what long term figures are for
I was lucky in that my cat came up positive for FeLv then we tested him a month
