December 3, 2021 -Although a cat in this state may show no signs of illness for several years, FeLV-related diseases such as anemia, skin diseases, and leukemiatypically develop within two to three years.
Cat-to-cat transfer of virus may occur from a bite wound, during mutual grooming, and (though rarely) through the shared use of litter boxes and feeding dishes. Transmission can also take place from an infected mother cat to her kittens, either before they are born or while they are nursing. FeLV doesn't survive long outside a cat's body—probably less than a few hours under normal household conditions.
Infected mother cats often pass the virus on to their kittens before or after birth. Feline leukemia symptoms gradually become more pronounced over time. In the early stages of infection, a cat with FeLV may show no symptoms. However, as your feline friend ages, their health will be significantly impacted by the disease and you will see a sharp decline in their overall health.
