A Note about FIV/FeLV Positive Cats : There is a lot of controversy regarding these diseases; FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus) or FeLV (feline leukemia virus) – these viruses break down the immune system. They infect about 2 – 3% of the cat population and are mainly spread by fighting, biting, mating, mutual grooming, litter boxes and sharing food/water bowls. There is a vaccination against these diseases for otherwise uninfected felines. They DO NOT infect humans or other animals, only cats. Cats should live indoors with other cats only if they, too, have the virus. Regular veterinary examinations and health care will keep them healthy. Reducing stress in their environment and providing nutritious food and fresh water will also help. Please consult your veterinarian for more information about these diseases.
