Unlock the Hidden Threat: What Every Cat Owner Must Know About Feline Leukemia Virus Before It’s Too Late
FeLV Life Expectancy
Cats diagnosed with FeLV can live normal lives for months or even years after diagnosis by treating secondary conditions and infections as they appear. However, on average, most persistently FeLV-positive cats live for less than three years post-diagnosis, depending on individual health conditions and complications.
Feline Leukemia Prevention
Preventing your cat from being exposed to FeLV-positive cats is the best way to protect them. Keep them indoors or restrict their outdoor activities so they don’t come in contact with cats of unknown or positive FeLV status (e.g., build a catio). If you are introducing a new cat into your home, make sure they have been tested for feline leukemia virus. If the new cat is FeLV-positive, they will need to be kept separated from any FeLV-negative cats in your home, including separate water and food dishes and separate litter boxes.
