Biomarkers included

• Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) Antigen: Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) antigen refers to viral components from FeLV that can be detected in a cat’s blood sample. A positive antigen result can indicate active FeLV infection.

Frequently asked questions

Why test for FIV and FeLV together?

FIV and FeLV can both affect immune health and may cause overlapping signs such as recurring infections, weight loss, poor coat condition or low energy. Testing both at once gives a broader first screen.

How do FIV and FeLV spread differently?

FIV is mainly spread through deep bite wounds, while FeLV is more commonly spread through close contact, shared bowls, grooming or from mother to kitten.

Can a cat have FIV or FeLV without clear symptoms?

Yes. Some infected cats may appear healthy for a long time, which makes testing useful for outdoor cats, newly adopted cats or cats with unknown exposure history.
