Thank you, QS. I would appreciate reading more about that topic.

Just by doing a quick search, I've come up with a large number of sites discussing this topic. http://www.aafponline.org/fiv_info_brief.htm http://www.amcgltd.com/archives/000884.html http://www.realpagessites.com/eastli.../newsarticles/ Some good info here! http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Con...=1&SourceID=42 There's a few thousand more. I typed "FIV vaccine" into the search engine, and was rather overwhelmed by the wealth of info on this. Happy reading!

Ah, yes. thank you all so much. Here's the story: I have two kittens, one 7 months and one 6 weeks. Both kitties were strays. Both will now be inside only. Both have been tested for everything and were negative. I was misinformed, there is no such thing as a FIV vaccine (duh). Older cat has already been neutered, younger cat will be spayed at 5 months. They have not met yet - we're keeping one at my boyfriend's house and one at my house for now. I followed the vet's advice about shots. Tito has all his shots - FVRCP, rabies, etc.etc. Sophie is younger but has already had her first round of shots. I decided not to get them the FIP/FeLV shots since they both tested negative for it, the vet said there were more risks than benefits in my situation since neither will be allowed outside (I live an apartment complex by a busy road and there's no way I want my kitties out there). Thank you all so much for all your help. As a first time pet owner, I was getting confused by all the information out there and felt a little overwhelmed! By changing vets and getting lots of imput I feel a lot better now.

Thank you!
