Feline Leukemia

Some things you should know about LEUKEMIA IN CATS:

It is known that most infections occur before one year of age even though symptoms may not occur for 6 or 7 years. 90% of cats a year old or older are resistant even if not vaccinated. House cats simply aren’t going to be exposed - don’t vaccinate - ever.

LEUKEMIA TESTING is most beneficial if done on a cat you want to bring home. If it’s positive, you don’t want it. Testing a pet you already own may be a mistake because, if it’s positive, you can’t change the progression of the disease. It will only give you a lot of worry and enable the vet to insist on routine, periodic testing which will cost a lot of money and still not change the outcome. Not all positive cats develop symptoms and die but it’s not good odds.

Since the LEUKEMIA VACCINATION is classified as a carcinogenic agent by the World Health Organization, it’s probably more dangerous to vaccinate your animal, especially if it’s over a year of age, than not vaccinate. 22,000 cats die every year from cancer caused by the irritation from vaccinations and leukemia vaccines are some of the worst. Most veterinarians insist on yearly vaccinations for all cats. NOT A GOOD IDEA!!!
