Unlock the Hidden Threat: What Every Cat Owner Must Know About Feline Leukemia Virus Before It’s Too Late
The virus only lives for a few hours in the environment, so close contact between cats is needed for a cat to become infected. Any cat can develop the infection, but cats who are already sick (have a compromised immune system) are more likely to become infected with FeLV. So are cats who are considered high risk — cats who spend time outdoors and may interact with other cats, those who live with FeLV-infected cats, and kittens due to their underdeveloped immune system.
What Are the First Signs of Feline Leukemia?
Cats infected with FeLV typically don’t show any symptoms when first infected. As the virus replicates and starts to spread, it weakens the immune system, making affected cats more susceptible to infections and other illnesses.
