Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) is a chronic viral infection that weakens a cat's immune system over time. While there is no cure, FIV-positive cats can live normal, comfortable lives for many years with proper management. Monthly care costs $100–$400 depending on secondary infections and health monitoring needs. Indoor living and regular vet care are essential.

Dear Pet Owner,
Looking for cat fiv treatment? Costs can vary significantly between clinics. One clinic may charge $100 while a specialty practice might charge $400. Both may offer quality care — the key is knowing your options.
Most FIV-positive cats require minimal specific treatment until secondary infections develop. Annual vet visits increase to bi-annual, adding $200–$600/year for monitoring. Secondary infections (dental disease, respiratory infections, skin issues) are the primary ongoing costs.
Regular bloodwork monitoring (CBC and chemistry every 6 months), treatment of secondary infections, dental care, vaccinations (modified live virus vaccines should be avoided), nutritional support.
