AN OPEN CONVERSATION ABOUT FELINE LEUKEMIA
By Jamie Lambert

There was a time not very long ago, when any cat diagnosed with feline leukemia was immediately euthanized. In fact, this applies to FIV as well, but we will talk about that in a second post.
I would like to discuss with you some truths about feline leukemia and some common misconceptions. I hope that the comments for this post will establish a dialogue regarding this virus and help eliminate the stigma that surrounds these cats.

1. ANY cat diagnosed with leukemia should be immediately euthanized, it is sick and will die.

NO! Leukemia kitties can live happy and fruitful lives! They are adoptable, wonderful pets. They may or may not have a shorter lifespan depending on their body's ability to fight off infections and illnesses.

2. Feline leukemia is CANCER.

NO! Feline leukemia (Felv) is a virus, not a carcinoma. It is not cancer and does not cause cancer. It does weaken the immune system, which can in some instances lead to an inability to fight to beat a cancer.

3. Leukemia positive cats are not adoptable.

NO, NO, NO!!! Being leukemia positive does not prevent ANY cat from making an excellent pet! They don't love any less! They MAY have a shorter overall lifespan, but in some adoption situations, that's not a downfall. For instance, an older senior needing a companion, but doesn't want to burden any family member with a potential 20+ year commitment if they pass.

4.Leukemia positive cats need to be the only pet.

Absolutely not!! Feline leukemia (Felv), cannot be spread between species. Simply put, you cannot get it, and neither will your dog, hamster, or rabbit. It is specific to cats. And leukemia positive kitties can live together. They are just like any other cat, except they should not share common space with leukemia negative cats.

5. All Paws Matter does not have or handle leukemia positive cats.

Of course we do!! Having leukemia does not prevent a cat from being a resident in the rescue, or being adopted from the rescue. We have our own leukemia positive group here at All Paws! We currently have 6 WONDERFUL leukemia positive kitties here. They do not live in the main part of our rescue. We house them separately and as a group. They are available for adoption just as any other kitty here is, and they need homes just as much as any other cat we help.

I'd love to field everyone's questions regarding feline leukemia. Discussions eliminate stigma and promotes learning. And I hope there's questions I don't know the answer to!!! Always open to a learning experience.
A short sidenote. I care for our leukemia positive cats just about every day here at the rescue. I play with them, clean up after them, cuddle them and love them. I have my own leukemia negative cats at home. There is a vaccine for feline leukemia readily available and it is effective. Fear or worry never affect me as far as transmission of the virus to my home animals, because I learned about how it's passed. That eliminated the stigma I had always carried.
