Human Coronavirus and your cat

Published by Kate King at February 20, 2020
Authorities have told us not to panic! It is highly unlikely that COVID-19, the new human coronavirus, will be transmitted through your cat.
Although the human virus seems to have emerged from an animal source it now spreads from human to human in coughs and sneezes.

 

Scientists have not detected any dogs or cats infected with COVID-19.



To be on the safe side World Small Animal Veterinary Association One Health Committee Chair Michael Lappin, DVM, recommends that you:

  • Keep your pet with you if you are self-quarantined
  • Keep cats indoors
  • If family or friends become hospitalized due to COVID-19 infection overseas or on return to Australia arrange for pets to be cared for outside the home
  • If your cat has been around someone infected with COVID-19 and becomes ill please let us know when you book an appointment for your cat
  • If you have been in China or around someone infected with COVID-19 please let us know when you book an appointment for your cat
Information specific to Australia is found here
