Feline leukemia virus (FeLV) is one of the leading causes of illness and death in cats around the world. This contagious virus weakens a cat’s immune system, leaving them vulnerable to infections, anemia, and even cancer. While the disease is serious, it can be managed—and even prevented—with early detection and responsible care.
In this post, we’ll explain what FeLV is, how it spreads, what signs to look out for, and how you can test for it easily at home using the TAEING FeLV Rapid Home Test Kit.
What Is FeLV?
FeLV is a viral infection that targets a cat’s immune system and bone marrow. Once infected, a cat may develop chronic illnesses or cancers, and their ability to fight off everyday infections becomes severely compromised.
The virus is most commonly spread through saliva, making it easily transmissible through grooming, shared food and water bowls, or bite wounds. It can also be passed from mother to kittens.
Common Symptoms of FeLV
FeLV can remain hidden for months before symptoms appear. When they do, they may include:
Persistent fever
Loss of appetite
Weight loss
Pale gums
Lethargy
Repeated infections
Enlarged lymph nodes
Because these signs can mimic other illnesses, testing is the only way to know for sure.
Why Early Detection Matters
FeLV is progressive—but catching it early allows you to act fast:
Get your cat the supportive care they need
Prevent the virus from spreading to other cats
Make informed decisions about vaccination, nutrition, and daily care
Improve your cat’s quality of life and longevity
