Kittens are generally vaccinated against FeLV around 8 to 9 weeks of age. A booster vaccination is given 3 to 4 weeks later, according to the vaccine label, followed by boosters each year as long as the risk for exposure remains. Similarly, vaccination against FIV can begin when kittens are around 8 weeks of age. Two additional boosters are given 2 to 3 weeks apart, followed by boosters each year as long as the risk for exposure remains. Cats that go outside are at greater risk for exposure to FeLV and FIV compared with cats that stay indoors.
All of these conditions also occur in cats without FIV infection, so an association with FIV is often speculative. A diagnosis of FIV infection is not cause for alarm. Since the virus has a long incubation period, a cat who tests FIV-positive may live free of FIV-related disease for a lifetime. Furthermore, FIV-vaccinated cats are indistinguishable from FIV-infected cats. Against FIV Testing. Alley Cat Allies does not support testing feral cats for FIV.
