I have always heard not to vaccinate for FIV, only FelV. Not only is the FIV vaccination questionable, but the cat will forever test positive for FIV just because of the vaccination. On 09-07, katskat1 wrote: Again, a large number of the people posting on this site MIX positives and negatives

Right, the FIV vac makes them test positive for FIV. And once their neutered they are not going to fight and give deep bite wounds so no danger of transmitting. Worthless vaccination just makes money for the company and the vet. Gloria Sent from my iPhone On Sep 8, 2011, at 6:43 AM, Lorrie

Hi.  I have been reading so much input from everyone.  It is really very eye opening.  O.K.  Perhaps the cats can be mixed.  However, as I said,the trio don't get along. I would still need to place Chloe (FELV).  I would love to see her in a home with just one other cat, so she can bond.

Do NOT vaccinate against FIV - no reason. Healthy cats and FIV+ cats can live together and NOT get infected, unless they fight and exchange blood/saliva! They can live for a very long time, too - but you have to make sure that they get good nutrition, supplements, check their gums and teeth
