Feline leukemia

Feline leukemia, also known as FeLV, is a contagious virus that affects cats' immune systems, making them more vulnerable to other illnesses. It spreads mainly through mutual grooming, bite wounds, or from mother to kitten. Some cats may show symptoms like weight loss, anemia, or decreased appetite, but others may appear healthy for years. There is no cure, but supportive care and vaccination can help prevent infection and manage symptoms. FeLV is a serious condition that can significantly impact a cat's health and lifespan, so early detection and preventive measures are important.
