FIV in Cats

Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) is a serious viral infection that weakens a cat’s immune system, making them more susceptible to other infections and diseases. The virus is primarily spread through bites, making outdoor cats or those in multi-cat households at higher risk. Symptoms can be subtle and may include chronic infections, weight loss, and dental issues. Regular veterinary check-ups and blood tests can help monitor your cat’s health. While there is no cure for FIV, with proper care, nutrition, and regular veterinary visits, many cats can live long, healthy lives.
