WARNING: A dangerous outbreak of Panleukopenia (Panleuk) is affecting cats across Central Florida. This highly contagious and often deadly virus attacks a cat’s immune system and spreads quickly, especially among kittens and unvaccinated cats.
Common symptoms include:
🐾 Vomiting
🐾 Diarrhea
🐾 Loss of appetite
🐾 Fever
🐾 Extreme lethargy
🐾 Dehydration
Panleuk can survive in the environment for months and spreads through contact with infected cats, surfaces, bedding, food bowls, and even shoes or clothing.
The best protection is VACCINATION. Vaccinating your cats — even indoor cats — can save their lives and help stop the spread of this devastating disease. If your cat is not up to date, contact your veterinarian or reach out to SPCA Florida Veterinary Clinic as soon as possible.
Please help protect our community cats, shelter cats, and your own furry family members. 💙🐱
