I have Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) but please don't let that stop you from giving me a loving home!!Cats that test positive for Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) are more likely to develop a secondary illness. They do require some special care.FeLV can be transmitted to other cats, through direct contact such as through mutual grooming and by sharing litter boxes and bowls. Therefore, FeLV positive cats need to be kept indoors and should only be housed with other cats who are also FeLV positive or no other cats. FeLV cannot be transmitted to humans or other types of animals such as dogs.Since there is no treatment for FeLV, it is important to keep the cat's immune system strong, with a healthy diet, a stress-free environment and regular vet checkups.FeLV positive cats can have a difficult time finding homes, even though in all respects they are normal, loving cats. Please don't allow the FeLV stigma to prevent you from opening your heart and home to a wonderful kitty companion
