Feline Leukemia
Feline Leukemia: How You Can Protect Your Feline Friend
LEUKEMIA FACTS


  • Feline Leukemia is a form of CANCER!
It may affect the blood, internal organs, or form tumors.

  • Feline Leukemia is HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS from cat to cat.

  • Licking, sneezing, fighting, sharing food bowls, or sharing litter
    pans may spread it.

  • It is estimated that 30% of all stray cats are infected today.

  • It is one of the MAJOR causes of death in cats today.

  • It primarily affects the cat by DECREASING THE RESISTANCE of
    the cat to other diseases. It acts very similar to the aids virus in
    humans.

  • Diagnosis is made by clinical signs and a blood test.

  • There is NO SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT!

  • The virus does NOT live outside the cat's body over 2-3 days.

  • It is the CLOSEST RELATED VIRUS to the AIDS VIRUS of people
    known today!  However, it is NOT CONTAGIOUS to humans.

  • Due to the seriousness of this disease, we HIGHLY RECOMMEND
    THAT ALL CATS are vaccinated!  Once the disease is contracted
    there is NO cure!

  • Research evidence to date shows NO possibility that Feline
    Leukemia is  transmissible to humans
