Why is FeLV testing useful before introducing a new cat?
FeLV can spread through close contact between cats, so testing can provide useful first information before introducing a cat into a multi cat household.
Can a cat have FeLV without clear symptoms?
Yes. Some cats may show few or no obvious signs early on, while others may develop recurring infections, weight loss, low energy or poor coat condition.
How is this different from the FIV and FeLV Combo Test?
