FELINE LEUKEMIA VIRUS is a contagious and fatal viral disease of cats. Leukemia, a blood cancer, is only one of many outcomes of infection with FeLV. Another cancer, lymphosarcoma, is actually a more common FeLV disease. Still more common, though, are "associated diseases" that result when FeLV impairs a cat's immune system. Kittens can be infected with Feline Leukemia virus from their mother, or acquire it from close contact with another infected cat. We recommend that all kittens and new cats have a blood test for Feline Leukemia Virus. Vaccination for Feline Leukemia is recommended for all outdoor cats or cats that are at risk for exposure. Two injections are required to establish immunity against FeLV; the first injection can be given as early as nine weeks of age, the second four weeks later.

FELINE IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUS is a contagious and fatal viral disease of cats usually acquired through bite wounds. Symptoms are similar to Feline Leukemia Virus. We recommend that all kittens and new cats have a blood test for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus.
