I have one cat that goes outside the second cat does not go outside, does the indoor cat need a felv vaccine too. he is due in April, I am thinking about doing it every other year instead of every year. and for the cat that goes outside he will get it every year. fo the most part he stays in the yard. Thoughts?
And no I do not let him out, unless on a harness, he door dashes ALOT.

You can do a titer check to see what the indoor cat's antibody level for FeLV is. But personally, that is likely more expensive and if these cats are young, you may just want to do the vaccinations instead. I know the odds are low in your situation, but frankly, why would you even want to take a chance?

Why not ask the Vet while you're in there getting the other shots?
