Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) is a retrovirus that weakens a cat’s immune system, similar to how HIV affects humans. Symptoms may not appear for years but can include fever, weight loss, and dental issues. FIV is mainly spread through deep bite wounds from fights between outdoor cats. Feline Leukaemia Virus (FeLV) is another retrovirus that impairs a cat’s immune system, leading to cancer and infections. Symptoms include pale gums, weight loss, and breathing difficulty. FeLV is typically transmitted through close contact between cats or from mother to kitten.
Regular vet check-ups and health management are crucial for infected cats, as there is no cure for FIV or FeLV. Keeping infected cats indoors can reduce their risk of contracting other infections, and early diagnosis is important for managing the diseases. Testing for FIV and FeLV helps determine which virus, if any, your cat has, allowing for appropriate care and protection of other cats in the community.
