I have had to have two kitties PTS with this terrible disease. One probably got it from the other. Both were indoor/outdoor cats. This is before the vaccination was available. (Just after the second cat was PTS the vaccination became available:( )
Hallie is an indoor cat. The vet would not give her the vaccination because she is an indoor cat. Something new I guess.
However, recently she went nose to nose with the cat next door who has not had ANY vaccinations and that kitty hissed at Hallie. (Long story why they were together..)
The other kitty does not have obvious signs of FeLV (but that does not mean anything--yes it is mostly an outdoor cat). But I am worried. How catchable is this disease? Was my cat really at risk? You can be sure they will be seperated no matter what.
Sorry this is so long but I am really worried. Hope you can help with my questions!
