Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV), known as the “fighting cat disease,” is transmitted primarily through bite wounds.

Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV), known as the “friendly cat disease,” is typically spread through prolonged casual contact.

Feline Heartworm (FHW) is transmitted through infected mosquitoes and found in both indoor and outdoor cats wherever heartworm infection is found in dogs.
