Hi Joanna. It’s a good question. While I am unable to provide a guarantee, generally FIV does not cause the level of immunosuppression that leads to failure of cat flu vaccines. We find that as long as FIV positive cats have up to date vaccinations, they can live with flu carriers without a problem.

I have a new cat who has been diagnosed with FIV and a cat who is a carrier for cat flu (no active infection for 2 years)
Both are rescue cats and live in different parts of the household.
I wonder if now having the fiv diagnosis i need to surrender one of the cats due to the risk to the fiv cat?
It breaks my heart thinking about it hence looking for a professional opinion
