My understanding is that bloodwork is done to determine how much immunity an animal has. Nothing can determine how much *immunity* an animal has, unfortunately. Titers only tell you how many disease-fighting antibodies are present in the blood. Quote from: http://www.caberfeidh.com/Titers.htm

Hey Lee! I didn't know you were on this list too! I have not had a vet push the FIV vaccine on me, maybe I have been lucky. We give the FELV, FVRCP, and legally required rabies shot to our adoption cats. The reason we do this is because we aren't sure adopters won't let the cats outside, no
