My vet will not give vaccinations to any FelV cats, nor to any of my
old cats.  She also does not tell me to euthanize a FelV cat. Some 
positive cats can live long lives in spite of having the virus.

It is encouraging to know that FelV is NOT a death sentence with
every cat. Usually if is fatal with kittens however, as their immune
systems are not fully developed.
