Today is Feline Leukemia Day. Let’s learn more about this serious and often misunderstood disease affecting our beloved cats. FeLV is a contagious virus that weakens a cat's immune system, making them more susceptible to infections and other illnesses.

What You Need to Know:

Transmission: FeLV spreads through close contact between cats, including grooming, sharing food or water bowls, and bite wounds.

Symptoms: Common signs include lethargy, weight loss, fever, swollen lymph nodes, and recurring infections. Some cats may not show symptoms immediately but can still spread the virus.

Prevention:
Vaccination: Ensure your cat is vaccinated against FeLV, especially if they go outdoors or live in multi-cat households.

Testing: Regularly test your cat for FeLV, particularly if they are exposed to other cats.

Together, we can make a difference in the lives of our feline companions. Let’s work towards a future where every cat can live a happy, healthy life free from Feline Leukemia.

As we continue to be under a heat advisory this week, it's crucial to be mindful of the risk of heat stroke in our furry companions. Heat stroke can be life-threatening for pets, but with the right knowledge and precautions, we can help keep them safe.

From avoiding strenuous exercise during the hottest parts of the day to providing plenty of shade and water, there are steps you can take to prevent heat-related emergencies. Remember to never leave your pet in a parked car, as temperatures can skyrocket dangerously high in just minutes.
