http://www.jefferspet.com/ssc/product.asp?CID=0&pf_id=736 you can get it here but have to buy 25 vials, works out at $4.80 a vial.

It is a high risk vaccine, I wouldn't recommend using it. It causes vaccine related sarcoma, and a much higher incidence of it than most. There is a 25% failure rate and your cat could still get FeLv. Your cat has to be tested for FeLv prior to administration and the shot should be given in the left rear leg, so that if a sarcoma develops the leg can be amputated.
It is expensive and it was introduced in 2002 but there is still controversy and resistance to it from veterinarians. I haven't found anywhere which sells this particular vaccine. A vet should have it, if your vet doesn't then there would be a reason.

Your vet should carry it. You don't need to buy your own vial, and I can't think of a supplier who will give it to you, but the vaccine is not too expensive, and it is a three year vaccine, so after the intial round of vaccines, spread out over several months, you will only have to pay every three years if you keep the cats on schedule.

After reading about vaccine-related sarcoma in cats who have gotten this vaccine, I decided against getting it for my cat. He's an indoor cat, anyway....not much risk of him coming into contact with the disease in the first place.
But you get the vaccine from a vet.
Your best bet is to make your cat an indoor animal (you can take them outside from time to time with a restraint like harness and leash, or in an enclosure), and keep unknown cats away from your cat.

medi-vet.com has some, but you have to purchase like 50 vials at $388. (which would run you almost $8 a vial or shot). Sorry this wasn't much help. I took my cat to the vet and it was around $37 for all her shots.

go to a vet and get the cats vaccinated there.
