Happy Friday! With our vaccination focus this month, here is a little info on Feline leukemia. We strongly recommend this vaccine to protect your cats from this disease, and recommend your cats be vaccinated prior to introducing another cat / kitten into the family, and having the new cat/kitten viral tested and vaccinated prior to introduction.

Feline leukemia virus (FeLV) is one of the most common and important infectious diseases in cats, affecting between 2-3% of all cats in the United States and Canada. Fortunately, the prevalence of FeLV in cats has decreased significantly in the past 25 years since the development of an effective vaccine and accurate testing procedures.

In 1967 the Leukemia Studies Laboratory (later to be renamed the Feline Health Center) was constructed on Snyder Hill, from help from the National Cancer Institute, for Charles G. Rickard, Fernando Noronha, and John E. Post, to pursue investigation of cancer in cats. Dr. Rickard was a notable teacher and one of the Cornell’s leading researchers, focusing on feline infectious disease and cancer studies. In 1970 the Feline Leukemia Laboratory's transmissible strain of cat leukemia virus provided evidence that feline leukemia is a viral disease.

Did you know that many cats do not receive regular veterinary care? Statistically, cats tend not to undergo veterinary examinations or receive booster vaccines until their senior years, unless they are seriously ill. Here is a breakdown of the vaccination schedule for our feline friends, along with a reminder that adult cats should undergo a health check at least once a year, and every six months if they are seniors.
