Two viruses, both incurable, both hard on the immune system. A diagnosis changes how you look after your cat, and the food in the bowl matters more than ever.
Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) is a fairly common viral disease of cats. It passes from cat to cat through bodily fluids. Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) is less common, and also contagious through bodily fluids, mainly biting.
Both are retroviruses. They make an enzyme, reverse transcriptase, that lets them insert copies of their own genetic material into the cells they infect. Once that happens, the virus stays.
FeLV and FIV are still incurable, and both suppress the immune system. That leaves an infected cat open to outside infections, and those infections, more than the virus itself, are most often what take a cat with FeLV or FIV.
So the work, once you know, is keeping the rest of the body as strong as it can be.
Vaccination is the main way to prevent FeLV. Ask your vet whether it fits your cat. There is no FIV vaccine sold in the US or Canada today: the one that existed was withdrawn from both markets.1,2
If your cat is having the shots, give a double serving of Sprouted Granules for two weeks before and two weeks after, to support the immune system through the process.
If your cat has been diagnosed with FeLV or FIV, a nutritionally complete, balanced diet and supplemental support are essential. Nzymes cannot touch the virus. What we can do is help with what it wears down: the enzymes, antioxidants and minerals that processed food lacks, put back in the bowl for an immune system that needs every bit of help.

Feline Leukemia Virus and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus. Both are retroviruses: they copy their own genetic material into the cells they infect, and both wear down the cat's immune system over time.
Through bodily fluids from another infected cat. FeLV is the more common of the two. FIV spreads mainly through bites.
No. Both are still incurable. The danger is what the weakened immune system lets in: outside infections are what most often take a cat with FeLV or FIV.
For FeLV, yes; ask your vet whether it fits your cat. For FIV, not in the US or Canada: the one vaccine was withdrawn from both markets. If your cat is having shots, give a double serving of Sprouted Granules for two weeks before and two weeks after, to support the immune system through the process.
Not with the virus itself. For a cat diagnosed with FeLV or FIV, feeding a nutritionally complete and balanced diet and using supplemental support is essential. That is where Sprouted Granules come in: live-food enzymes and antioxidants for an immune system that needs every bit of help.
