SUMMARY:Feline Infectious Disease Summit 2026
DESCRIPTION:Register Now\n\nCommunity Cats Central, in partnership with the Tompkins Foundation for FeLV Advocacy, will once again host this highly anticipated summit. This full day event is dedicated exclusively to supporting cats affected by infectious diseases, including:\n\n\n\nFeline leukemia virus (FeLV): A retrovirus that impacts a cat’s immune system, making them more vulnerable to illness.\nFeline infectious peritonitis (FIP): A severe viral disease caused by a mutation of the feline coronavirus — now curable.\nFeline immunodeficiency virus (FIV): a slow-acting virus that weakens a cat’s immune system, primarily spread through deep bite wounds from fighting.\nOther infectious diseases, such as feline calicivirus, that are often misunderstood.\n\n\n\n \nDesigned for animal shelter staff, veterinarians, caregivers, and pet parents who care for these special cats, the event will offer insights into the latest advancements in treatment and diagnosis, along with best practices for managing cats in shelter and foster care settings.\nSessions will cover critical topics including:\n\n\n\nThe latest science, innovations, and treatments related to feline viral infections\nApproaches to reducing virus transmission\nWays to create enriching environments that support the well-being of cats recovering from infection\nCare and advocacy for FeLV+ and FIV+ cats\nEffective strategies for educating the public on disease misconceptions\n\n\n\n \nExpert speakers from across the animal welfare community will share practical strategies and answer questions, equipping attendees with the knowledge to make a meaningful difference for cats with severe or lifelong diseases. This event is an invaluable opportunity to learn from experienced professionals and connect with others committed to improving the lives of cats living with FeLV, FIV, and other serious but survivable diseases.\n\n\nSpeakers and Presentations\nNew speakers and presentations are being curated now!
