How should FIV cats be managed?

FIV cats should be kept as healthy as possible and free from stress.

• FIV cats should be confined indoors to reduce their exposures to infectious agents carried by other animals.

• FIV cats, as all cats, should be spayed or neutered.

• FIV cats should be fed a high-quality nutritionally complete and balanced diet.

• FIV cats should not be fed uncooked food, such as raw meat and eggs, and unpasteurized dairy products.

• FIV cats should have wellness visits with a veterinarian at least every six months.

• Vigilance and close monitoring of the health and behavior of FIV cats is even more important than it is for FIV.
