No need to worry, feline leukemia is only transmitted from cat to cat. This is why it is very important to have outdoors cats tested for feline leukemia and vaccinated against this deadly disease yearly. A common mistake is to introduce outdoor cats to our household cats without having them tested beforehand.
Below is a link on the disease, symptoms and supportive care.

So sorry about your kitty! That is so sad.
No, feline leukemia cannot be spread to humans, just other cats. If you have other cats, it's a good idea to get them tested.

Leukemia is not contagious in animals or humans. That is like saying TAG you have cancer! I mean come on!

No, it's not the same virus, it just causes immune problems like the human disease does.
