Neutering won't do a thing to most FeLV+ but vaccinating will to all. It is
most stressful being intact and no release. A + kitty should have at most the
rabies vaccine and only that one. A FIV+ can have rabies and one another but
not FIV/FeLV.

Some jurisdictions accept a vet's letter that an animal is not well

If that doesn't work, the vaccination does not have to be done at the

Vaccinating FeLV+ kittens is far more dangerous than neutering them. However,
since they would be indoor cats anyway, no danger of impregnating any females,
I don’t see any real reason for neutering them. If one considers that their
lives would not be that long, if they already exhibit
However, if a cat is strictly indoors, one can easily get away with not
giving them rabies vaccines.who would know?

I'm so sorry you had to go through all of that, and for your cats too. How
horrible.

I cannot imagine having uneutered cat in my house. The smell would get
untolerable as they mature. I've always fixed my FeLV cats. The syress on them
has to be worse than the surgery. I would not vaccinate for FVRCP. My one cat

Yes, they now make triple tests (heartworm/FIV?FELV) which are less
accurate. Apparently their patent ran out.

Oh ok. Yes we used those when they 1st came out. They were inaccurate so we
stopped using them. So I guess there is no alternative any more?

I agree with FeLV cats, but I never had an issue vaccinating my healthy FIV
cat. I had to vaccinate him for FeLV as he lived with FeLV cats. I only gave
him The FVRCP vaccine when I did a lot of rescue was worried about exposure
since I was dealing with a lot of kittens from bad situations.
My vet will not operate if the animal does not have vaccinations up to date and
if tey are running a fevor, have open wounds, etc. He treats the wounds, fevor
first, then when they are healed, does surgery.

If the neutering was going to affect him it would have been right away. My own
cat acted fine one day (playing in the yard under supervision) at the

I know the anemia did not come on overnight. She was just hiding
The patent ran out so i assumed others were producing them more cheaply but
