Feline FIV/FeLV Test Selection
Important information about why you should consider having your cat tested for FIV and FeLV.

Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) and feline leukemia virus (FeLV) can be fatal. In fact, FIV and FeLV infections are associated with illness and death of more cats than any other infectious agent.

There are no "sure signs" of either disease.

FIV and FeLV are:

  • Highly contagious and transmitted from cat to cat

  • Found in every region across the country

  • Known to attack a cat's immune system in a similar way

  • More commonly found in sick cats

FIV- and FeLV-positive cats may live healthy lives for years if detected and treated early

The symptoms may take years to appear. Early symptoms are more subtle and may include changes in:

     Grooming habits  Sleeping habits  Eating habits
     Behavior/Mood  Activity levels  

Good News!
Fortunately, we have a test for both of these diseases. Testing can be done with one blood sample—at one time—with results in 10 minutes. That means you'll have an answer during your cat's visit.

Diagnosis without testing is virtually impossible. It's a small price to pay to help keep your cat healthy.
