Feline Leukemia (FeLV) This viral disease attacks the immune system and leaves the cat vulnerable to a host of secondary infections. Death most often occurs within three years of infection. Because trans¬mission usually occurs through contact with other felines, those cats that live in multi-cat households or are allowed to roam outdoors are particularly at risk. There is no known relationship between FeLV and leukemia as it occurs in humans. |
