Feline Leukemia (FeLV)
FeLV is a
viral disease of cats that affects blood producing tissues. FeLV suppresses
the cat’s immune system, leaving it unable to fight off other infections, such
as pneumonia. FeLV can also cause cancer in a small proportion of cats.
This is a fatal and highly contagious disease with the virus being
transmitted through body fluids.
An effective
vaccine can be administered for this disease and booster shots are required
annually.
