Two diseases that are incurable and highly contagious to cats are feline leukemia and feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV). Any cat that has contact with an infected cat is at risk. Testing is recommended to prevent the spread of these diseases. Vaccinations are available to protect your cat after testing is performed. Please feel free to contact us for further information about these diseases and vaccinations.
Cats may also contract feline heartworm disease, which is caused by a blood-borne parasite spread through mosquitoes. Heartworms in cats may cause a wide array of symptoms, and complications associated with the disease can be fatal. A monthly preventative can be used to protect cats from heartworm disease. Diagnostic testing is also available. |
