FIV
Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) is one of the most common and consequential infectious diseases of cats around the world. In infected cats, FIV attacks the immune system, leaving the cat vulnerable to many other infections. Although cats infected with FIV may appear normal for years, they eventually suffer from immune deficiency, which allows normally harmless bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and fungi found in the everyday environment to potentially cause severe illnesses. Though there is no cure for FIV, recent studies suggest that cats with FIV commonly live average life spans, as long as they are not also infected with feline leukemia virus.
Panleukopenia
Feline panleukopenia virus, also known as feline distemper, is a highly contagious, life-threatening infectious disease in cats. Feline panleukopenia virus is closely related to canine parvovirus. Feline distemper mostly affects kittens and unvaccinated cats. The virus enters a cat’s body through the nose or mouth. A cat’s immune system determines the number of viral particles that enter the body. There is now a treatment for Panleukopenia that we are trying to educate everyone about. Contract us for details - you won't find them online.
Coming Soon
We believe in the power of collaboration. By partnering with local organizations and volunteers, we enhance our efforts in TNR and cat rescue, creating a network of support that benefits both the cats and the community.
