Hi,

Our boy Dobby is FELV positive. He's about six years old. We've already had two other FELV cats; sadly they passed away after a year or two. Dobby seems to be fine on his own, as he prefers the company of humans, so as long as we're around to shower him with affection, he's fine. He's a real lover-boy. But he doesn't mind other cats, and when we're out, we think he would prefer the company of another cat than to be by himself. We've decided he will be our last FELV cat, as it's emotionally/financially trying to have a cat die on us every year. (we lost three cats in three years!).

Our vet suggested getting a healthy cat, and vaccinating him against FELV. She said he'd have to be quarantined for 30 days before introducing him to Dobby. Has anyone had experience with this? I'm thinking if we go to a shelter and save a cat from euthanasia, we're giving him a chance at life. But we would feel HORRIBLE if the vaccine didn't work, and he came down with leukemia!

Thoughts?
