Feline panleukopenia is a highly contagious viral disease that crashes a cat's white-blood-cell count and weakens its defenses. With vaccination it is preventable, and with early aggressive support it is often survivable.
Why You Should Spay or Neuter Your Cat

Why Has My Samoyed’s Coat Turned Yellow?
A slight yellow tint is normal in Samoyed puppies and usually whitens with age, but a pure-white adult turning yellow deserves a look. Causes include missing trace elements, a harsh shampoo that harms follicles, or simply not being purebred—and balanced nutrition usually restores the coat.
