To the best of my knowledge, no, although you may be able to find something close to this in a farm supply store. Please be advised, however, that the vaccines available over the counter may not be as effective and there is a possibility of adverse reactions.

Can Cat aids contagious to dogs?
Answer:Currently there is no proof that humans can be infected with FeLV, but those with suppressed immune systems should refrain from contact with infected cats. This includes those on AIDS therapy, pregnant women, infants, and the elderly.Answer:If FeLV had ever been detected in human blood, it would be international news. It is a fiction that humans can contract it, much less have major health complication and die from it. THere are "germaphobes" who prefer that all FeLV+ be euthanized... a tragedy since these cats can live for years.

What if your cats keep miscarrying what could it be?
It could be from being infected with a very deadly virus called Feline Leukemia. It is also very contagious, is carried in the saliva so cats pass it on by grooming each other or from fleas hopping from infected cat to cat. I would take at least one of the cats (best to take them all in) into your Veterinarian and have it tested for Felv. You really should spay all of your cats (if they are negative for the Feline Leukemia). Find a low cost spay and neuter clinic. We don't need anymore unwanted kittens. Too many cats out there that are homeless. Please vaccinate your cats in the future against Feline Leukemia and the other viruses.
How can you treat your cat for feline leukemia?
There is a very slight possibility that the FeLV vaccine could cause some harm to your cat. Of the rare side effects, the most common is a vaccine site reaction, where the site is warm to the touch, red and possibly itchy or irritating to your cat. The cat may also run a slight fever for a couple of days. One of the least common side effects is the potential for a vaccine-associated sarcoma. This is a tumor of connective tissue that develops at the site of a vaccine and tends to be invasive and aggressive. However, this is extremely rare, and FeLV is much more common and untreatable.

Does Sparta from the mean kitty videos on you-tube really have leukemia?
Edit - leukemia in cats is NOT the same as leukemia in humans. It is NOT cancer NOR is it a death sentence. I had a FeLV (feline leukemia virus) cat and a FiV cat (feline AIDS) and both cats lived to be 20 and 22, respectively. Yes, he really does. Leukemia in cats is not an automatic death sentence, he has probably got a 50% chance of surviving at least three years. A few cats are carriers who never get sick at all. It's a fairly common, easily-spread disease in cats. There are treatments but no cure, but there is an effective vaccine. Good luck Sparta, we love you.
