What is Feline Leukemia Virus?

Feline Leukemia Virus (FLV) is a debilitating disease that attacks your cat's immune system. It is highly contagious and can be passed through all bodily excretions. FLV can also pass from a mother cat to her kittens.

Your veterinarian can test for FLV with a blood sample from your cat. Contact your veterinarian if you believe your cat may have or may have been exposed to FLV.

Symptoms:


• loss of weight
• recurring illnesses
• cumulative weakening in kittens
• pale gums
• jaundice in the mouth or eyes
• lethargic behavior
• recurring bouts of fever or diarrhea
