I have had terrible expirence with Feline Leukemia and I feel the need to express this more ..anyone that already has cats that takes in another cat..strays and cats that have been outdoors and not protected against this can VERY easliy transmit this to one another!! I had cat sitted for a freind whos cat was not given shots for this disease and he passed this virus along to my indoor cat..within 3 months 2 cats had lost there lives..it was a very emotional expirence for me and could have been prevented if I had know more about this! putting my cats down was a bad expirence and it all happened so soon....the disease can be spread through water dishes..feces.. and biting clawing...I just want people who dont know about this and how easy this can happen....If you already have cats and are thinking about taking on more cats please be aware of this and have your cats given shots for this terrible sickeness ..its not 100 percent effective but it does cut down on the risk ...This sickness takes many cats lives every year and seems to pass among strays and cats that have been outdoors at a higher risk factor...
There are also tests that can be given to see if a cat is carrying this illness. also feLv cats can live for a while and have no symptoms...
So please whenever having another cat join your cat household think about this
