Scottish Fold Cats at Risk for FeLV

Cats can be prone to different health issues. One of the more serious ones is the FeLV virus. FeLV stands for the Feline Leukemia Virus. The virus can cause anemia and lymphoma and is the second largest cause of death among cats. The risk of contracting FeLV is very low for indoor cats. However, if you have a multi-cat home the risk increases especially with cats that share the same water and food bowls or even litter boxes. Senior cats are also more susceptible to the virus because of their age and inability to fight off illness. 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.
