Q: Do you groom cats?
A: Currently we do not groom cats. That is something we will look into in the future should there be a high demand for it.
Q: What is FIV? How is it transmitted?
A: Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) causes an infectious disease in domestic cats and cheetahs similar to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV infection) in humans. It attacks and weakens the body's immune system, making the animal susceptible to infections and diseases that don't usually affect healthy cats. There is no cure for FIV, and the use of vaccines to prevent infection is somewhat controversial.
FIV is transmitted primarily through deep, penetrating bite wounds. For more information on FIV, please visit Cornell Feline Health Center, Cornell University, College of Veterinary Medicine's website.
Q: So, what is FeLV? How common is it and how does it spread from cat to cat?
A: Feline leukemia is a cancerous disease caused by feline leukemia virus (FeLV). FeLV causes diseases other than leukemia including other cancers and immunodeficiency.
It is estimated that 1-2% of otherwise healthy cats are infected with FeLV. Males are more commonly infected than females, and cats with access to the outdoors are more at risk of becoming infected than indoor cats. Kittens are much more susceptible to FeLV infection than adult cats.
The feline leukemia virus is excreted in saliva and tears and possibly the urine and feces of infected cats. Prolonged, extensive cat-to-cat contact is required for efficient spread, because the virus is rapidly inactivated by warmth and drying. For more information on FeLV, please visit Cornell Feline Health Center, Cornell University, College of Veterinary Medicine's website.
