Are you familiar with FeLV? It stands for the Feline
Leukemia Virus, which is a virus that affects all cat breeds no matter their
age or sex. The virus is not contagious to humans and it cannot be passed on to
other animals. FeLV is highly contagious in cats. Even though your FeLV can’t
get your dog sick, it’s important to keep your cat away from your dog or other
cats if they are sick. Germs brought in by other pets or even people can harm
an FeLV positive cat because of the cat’s compromised immune system. FeLV can
cause anemia and lymphoma. Because of the suppressed immune system, FeLV can
make your cat much more susceptible to other illnesses. FeLV can also cause
other illnesses including kidney disease and other types of cancers. If your
cat is FeLV positive, make sure he sees a veterinarian regularly. Click here to learn more or
