Answers:
Feline leukemia is a virus that is contagious from cat to cat. This virus is fatal in most cats so identifying cats that have it is the best way for us to control the spread of the disease. Some cats can carry the virus but not act sick for months or weeks or years. Testing your kitten is ideal because it tells us if he has been exposed to the virus and what steps you need to do to properly care for your pet. It is also important if you have other cats in your house to prevent them from acquiring the disease.
