Advanced management of cats with FeLV and FIV infections focuses on maximising quality and length of life through proactive health monitoring, prompt treatment of secondary infections, and appropriate housing.
FeLV and FIV positive cats often face unnecessary euthanasia based on outdated prognostic assumptions. Modern management that provides indoor housing, regular health monitoring, and prompt treatment of secondary infections extends periods of good quality life significantly. The welfare priority is maximising good quality living time rather than focusing on the eventual terminal nature of these infections.
