Renal lymphoma was diagnosed, staged, and treated in 28 cats. Renal lymphoma staging was done according to clinical findings: 11 cats had stage-2 lymphomas, 5 had stage-3 lymphomas, 6 had stage-4 lymphomas, and 6 had stage-5 lymphomas. All cats were treated with chemotherapy: 17 cats had a complete response, 9 cats had a partial response, and 2 cats had no response. The cats with stage-2 lymphomas that were FeLV-test negative had the best response to treatment.
