I was at my vets this morning to pick up medicine for Princess Alexis.
We were talking about FIV and she mentioned that they had gotten some information from the AAFP, the American Association of Feline Practioners, and she mentioned that if you choose to have your cats vaccinated, that if your cat gets out and ends up in a shelter, they will test POSITIVE for FIV.
The website is: http://www.aafponline.org/resources/...Guidelines.pdf
I personally would be concerned about that, because you know how fast a cat can run out a door.
My vet has mentioned that she has only had 2 people in the last 5 years with FIV+ cats, so it is felt that at here, there is not a high incidence.
I think that you all should be aware of some of the consequences if you decide to get your babies vaccinated.
PS that url is not showing correctly, there should be a underscore between FIV and Guidelines, not periods
