All cats are different with this disease. It does shorten their life span, but I've seen some come into my office at 16 yrs old with it. Depends upon the quality of life the pet leads. If you take good care (don't leave them outside in the cold etc), feed good high quality food that caters to kidney health, your pet could live a nice long life. Unfortunatly, you just don't know. But do watch for water intake & being lethargic (not wanting to do anything). If their water increases, then the kidneys could be shutting down & they will need to get to the vet asap.

You got a good answer from 4xbrbe.
For more information, here's a link to the Cornell Feline Health Center's brochure on FeLV:

Each cat and each case is different. It is hard to predict. I knew a cat who lived to be 6 and another who didn't live to be 2.
Good Luck.
