🐾 What is Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV)? 🐱
Feline Leukemia is a highly contagious virus that affects cats’ immune systems, making them more vulnerable to illness. It can lead to anemia, infections, and even cancer. While it's a serious disease, it is preventable!
📌 How is it spread?
FeLV is commonly spread through:
▪️Saliva (grooming, shared food/water bowls)
▪️Nose-to-nose contact
▪️Bites
▪️From mother to kitten
😿 Cats can carry the virus without showing symptoms for months—FeLV is one of the most common infectious diseases known to cats.
💉 How to protect your cat:
✔️ Test new cats before bringing them home
✔️ Keep your cat indoors to limit exposure
✔️ Vaccinate! The FeLV vaccine is a safe and effective way to reduce risk
🩺 If your cat has FeLV, we can help manage their health and quality of life with regular checkups, good nutrition, and loving care.
