Please visit our Main Information Page for more information about various Feline Illnesses and Issues.
Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) - A retrovirus considered to be the most common cause of serious illness and death in domestic cats. It causes a breakdown in your cat's immune system causing your cat to become susceptible to many diseases which it might otherwise be able to fight off.
Feline Infectious Peritontis (FIP) - A hard to diagnosis fatal disease and is not a typical infectious disease. In an attempt to fight against this virus, your cat's immune system actually speeds along the process of the disease. It can often difficult to diagnose because each cat can display signs similar to those of many other diseases.
Feline Immunodeficieny Virus (FIV) - A retrovirus that enters the lymph nodes and targets the white blood cells that fight infection. As a result, the cat is unable to fight off various infections and cancers.
Feline Panleukopenia (Feline Distemper) - A severe, highly contagious viral disease. This virus tends to invade cells which are rapidly growing.
