Feline Health and Welfare Research

Our UF team is conducting the world’s first lifetime study of cats with FeLV that has already resulted in better diagnostic testing protocols and understanding how FeLV virus levels impact cat lifespan. We are also breaking new ground in protocols for affordable and practical treatment of deadly FIP in animal shelters. Your donations to our research programs will advance these critical studies with a direct impact on evidence-driven feline healthcare.
