Thanks for this! Since my old Oliver died recently, I've decided to adopt a vouple of FIB kittens and give them a good home. Just waiting until they turn up. And...they will.

There is a related auto-immune disease to which cats are susceptible: Feline leukemia (FeLV). Here is a link to Cornell University's discussion of this horrible condition which is more deadly than FIV.

http://www.vet.cornell.edu/fhc/brochures/felv.html

We fostered a mother cat infected with FeLV and she passed it on to all of her kittens. 4 of the 6 kittens died within 6 weeks of birth. Lenny and Annabel lived about a year each. Jennifer, the mom, lived 2 more years.

The best way to prevent your cat(s) from getting such diseases is keeping them indoors.
