Quick Facts:
- FeLV is a retrovirus that compromises a cat’s immune system.
- FeLV is a feline-only virus that cannot be transmitted to humans.
- Cats who test positive for FeLV can live for many years without serious symptoms.
- A positive FeLV test result SHOULD NOT be a death sentence.
- A vaccination for FeLV exists, but it is not 100 percent effective.
- In rare instances, FeLV can spread through the shared use of litter boxes and/or feeding dishes.
- A positive FeLV test in a cat is not necessarily a diagnosis. False positives can occur.
- We strongly recommend against testing community cats for FeLV.
- Spaying and neutering is key to preventing FeLV spread by minimizing biting behavior that is the main mode of transmission.
FeLV cannot survive for more than a few hours outside a cat’s body in most environments and is easily destroyed with soap and water.
Spaying and neutering cats helps prevent FeLV transmission by minimizing biting behavior. When cats are spayed or neutered, hormone-driven fights (and any resulting bites) associated with mating decrease dramatically. Spaying and neutering also ends the transmission of FeLV from mother cats to kittens.
It is important to know that a vaccination for FeLV exists, but it is not 100 percent effective. People should consult their veterinarians and determine their cat’s risk factors for FeLV when deciding whether to vaccinate.
So to adopt Melody is facing a unknown future. But that is so true of many cats. Life is not promised to anyone.
