Carter

My story

Carter is a handsome, sweet, young boy that has had a rough start. Unfortunately he tested positive for Feline Leukemia. Due to this, he should be in a one cat household or with another FeLV+ cat. Although a diagnosis of FeLV can be emotionally devastating, it is important to realize that cats with FeLV can live normal lives for prolonged periods of time. The median survival time for cats after FeLV is diagnosed is 2.5 years, but this can be much longer for cats who develop a regressive infection. Once a cat has been diagnosed with FeLV, careful monitoring of weight, appetite, activity level, elimination habits, appearance of the mouth and eyes, and behavior is an important part of managing this disease. Any signs of abnormality in any of these areas should prompt immediate consultation with a veterinarian.
