Feline leukemia (FeLV) is a disease caused by a retrovirus, and will result in the suppression of the immune system. When the virus affects kittens, the disease will be severe, as they have a weak immune system. For this reason, the prognosis in kittens with FeLV is poor.
Feline leukemia is most commonly spread by direct oronasal contact between cats and through mutual grooming and shared contaminated water bowls and litter boxes. The virus is shed in many body fluids, including urine, saliva, milk, tears and blood, and in feces.
