Here is some information we complied about FIV: An FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus) diagnosis means your cat has a slow-acting virus that weakens their immune system, making them more susceptible to infections. However, FIV+ cats often live long, normal, and happy lives with proper care. It is not contagious to humans or dogs, and rarely spreads to other cats without deep, aggressive bite wounds. PetMD Key Management Points for an FIV+ Cat: Keep Indoors: Protects them from catching secondary infections and stops the spread of the virus to others. Veterinary Care: Requires annual check-ups to monitor health, especially regarding dental care and weight. Healthy Lifestyle: A high-quality diet and a low-stress environment help maintain their immune system. Immediate Care: Treat any illnesses immediately, as they may not fight off infections as easily. Virginia Beach SPCA Understanding the Diagnosis Transmission: Spreads primarily through saliva (deep fighting/biting). Lifespan: Many FIV+ cats have a similar life expectancy to non-infected cats.
