FIV is a virus that weakens a cat's immune system, making them more prone to other infections. It's similar to HIV in humans, but it only affects cats. FIV is spread mainly through bite wounds, and adult male cats are more often affected. While there is no cure, cats with FIV can live for many years with proper care.

⚠️ Signs

• Weight loss
• Frequent infections (like colds, skin problems, or urinary issues)
• Fever
• Pale gums
• Tiredness or weakness
• Swollen lymph nodes (glands)
• Diarrhea
• Poor coat (fur looks unhealthy)
• Chronic gum disease (gingivitis)

🏥 What To Do

• See a vet: A blood test can confirm FIV. Your vet will guide you on treatment options.
• Supportive care: Make sure your cat gets a good diet, enough water, and grooming to keep the immune system strong.
• Prevent infections: Keep your cat indoors to reduce the risk of other diseases.
• Monitor your cat: Watch for signs of new infections or worsening symptoms and get help from the vet if needed.
