Primarily a disease in younger cats, the virus doesn’t always manifest symptoms, so it is important to have your cat tested regularly to prevent transmission and progression. FeLV is a transmittable retrovirus that can be passed in utero as well as through saliva and direct contact. Feline leukemia virus (FeLV) is linked to most forms of LSA except for the gastrointestinal (GI) form. Some reports estimate that 30% of all reported cat cancers are due to LSA. Lymphosarcoma or lymphoma (LSA), is one of the most common type of cancer in cats. White, or light colored, cats are more susceptible to squamous cell carcinoma.
