In this presentation, we will discuss the most important things shelters need to know from the 2020 AAFP Feline Retrovirus Testing and Management Guidelines. This information on FeLV (and a bit on FIV as well) will be a great foundation from which to kick off the day. About Dr. Julie Levy Dr. Levy is a professor of shelter medicine at the University of Florida. Her research and clinical interests center on the health and welfare of animals in shelters, feline infectious diseases, and humane alternatives for cat population control. She is the founder of Operation Catnip, a nonprofit university- based community cat trap-neuter-return program that has spayed, neutered, and vaccinated more than 55,000 cats in Gainesville, Florida since 1998. In 2008, Dr. Levy joined Dr. Cynda Crawford to found Maddie’s Shelter Medicine Program at the College of Veterinary Medicine, an educational and discovery initiative with a global impact on the care of homeless animals.
