Feline Panleukopenia (FPV) and Feline Calicivirus (FCV) are deadly viruses that can infect cats and kittens. They are also very hardy and difficult to kill in the home environment. What's worse, both are capable of surviving in your home for weeks and even years, laying in wait to infect the next kitten or vulnerable adult cat it comes in contact with.

As a foster, I've willingly taken kittens who have tested for both and am well versed in how to properly clean and disinfect everything in the home to prevent it from infecting the next litter.
