FIV / FeLV Management
A diagnosis doesn't have to mean the worst
An FIV or FeLV positive result can feel devastating, but with the right management plan, many cats live comfortably for years. What matters is a structured, ongoing approach – not a one-time consultation.
How We Manage FIV / FeLV
Infectious Disease Management
A structured approach to living with the condition - not just a diagnosis and a shrug. We look at what your cat needs to stay stable and build from there. See our Infectious Disease Testing page if you're still at the testing stage.
Supportive Care
Keeping your cat comfortable alongside the condition - immune support, nutrition, and managing any secondary issues that arise. See our Cat page for general care information.
Long-Term Monitoring
Regular check-ins to track your cat's status and catch complications early - before they become harder to manage. Frequency is set based on how your cat is doing.
What to Expect
Consult
Discuss the diagnosis and what it means for your cat - questions answered, concerns heard, nothing rushed.
Management Plan Built
A plan matched to your cat's specific case - not a one-size approach. We look at the full picture before deciding anything.
Ongoing Monitoring
Regular check-ins scheduled from the start - tracking status, catching issues early, keeping the plan current.
Adjustments as Needed
The plan evolves with your cat's condition - what works at month one may need revisiting at month six.

Many cats with FIV or FeLV live comfortably for years with proper management – a positive result is not a death sentence or a specific prognosis. What matters most is what comes next: a structured plan built around your cat's individual situation, which is where we start.
This depends on which virus, how your cats interact, and your specific household – FIV and FeLV transmit differently, and a blanket yes or no here could be genuinely harmful. Bring this question to a consultation so we can look at your situation properly rather than give you a generic answer.
Regular check-ins to assess your cat's condition, catch any complications early, and adjust the plan as things change. How frequent will depend on how your cat is doing – we build this schedule as part of the initial management plan.
There is currently no cure for FIV or FeLV – the focus is on management and supportive care that helps your cat live well with the condition. The goal is stability and quality of life, not eliminating the virus.
FIV is most commonly passed through bite wounds between cats; FeLV spreads more readily through close contact – grooming, shared food bowls, and mother-to-kitten transmission. Understanding how transmission happened can help inform how we approach monitoring and, if relevant, protecting other cats in the household.
