Frequently Asked Questions

How does FPV spread between cats?

FPV spreads through infected feces, vomit, and contaminated bedding, bowls, or litter boxes. It also passes between cats, and the virus can survive in the environment for up to a year.

Can vets cure FPV?

No cure exists. Vets give supportive care, such as fluids and food, and early treatment improves a kitten's chances.

What health problems affect Persian cats?

A large UK study found almost two thirds of Persians had at least one health condition. Coat problems, dental disease, overgrown nails, and eye discharge ranked highest.

How long do Persian cats live?

That same UK study put the average lifespan at 13.5 years. Ask a vet for a care plan that fits your kitten.

What should a new owner do about vaccines at home?

Book a vet visit soon after the kitten arrives. The FPV course usually has two injections, three to four weeks apart.
