feline lukemia

I've just taken in a stray in to my home today that I have been feeding for 2+ years outside. I trapped and had her spayed and vaccinated approx. 2 years ago. Recently I trapped two strays that tested positive for feline leukemia and had to put them down. I am worried about this one have contracted it since I have two healthy indoor cats being kept separate from this stray. My questions are: is she likely to have the disease if she was vaccinated 2 years ago? Since my indoors are vaccinated, will they be less susceptible to this disease? If I get the stray to the doctor and she tests negative how long must i wait before exposing her to my other cats? Does she need a second test?

Feline Leukemia VIRUS is NOT cancer.  It is a virus that attacks the cat's immune system and makes them susceptible to many other sicknesses, and causes other problems-like teeth and gum probs, among other things.  Do a google search and look up feline leukemia virus.

This is very, very different than the human leukemia.

Leukemia is a cancer is not contagious. At least with humans. I guess a little more research on how it works with cats should be in order.
