FeLV or Feline Leukemia Virus can affect cats of all breeds, sex, and ages. If you own a Ragdoll cat or any other breed than your vet Lafayette, LA may already have told you about the virus. In general, the virus is found in cats only and is not contagious to people or other animals. The risk of contracting FeLV is very low for indoor cats. However, if you have a multi-cat home the risk increases especially with the cats that share the same water and food bowls or even litter boxes. Senior cats and kittens are also more susceptible to the virus because of their age and inability to fight off illnesses. Outdoor cats are more susceptible to the virus as well due to their contact with other cats that could be infected. One of the best ways to protect your cat is to have her vaccinated at an early age.
