Plain-English summary

Feline Leukaemia, also known as FeLV, can be part of cat testing and non-core vaccine discussions.

What it is

Feline Leukaemia (FeLV) is a cat testing and non-core vaccine discussion topic. It may be relevant for kittens, newly adopted cats, outdoor exposure, catteries, or multi-cat households, and testing may be needed before some vaccination decisions.

Why it matters

Cat owners may ask about FeLV when bringing home a kitten, adding a cat to a household, managing multi-cat exposure, or reviewing vaccine and testing history.

How mobile veterinary care helps

During a mobile appointment, Dr. Sergey can review your pet's vaccine history, age, lifestyle, and exposure risks, then discuss which core or non-core vaccines may be appropriate for your dog or cat.

When to ask about it

Ask about FeLV when a kitten or cat has unknown status, before considering FeLV vaccination, or when discussing multi-cat household risk with a veterinarian.
