Genesee County, Mich. — Genesee County Animal Care has temporarily halted all cat intakes after a stray kitten was found to be positive for Panleukopenia, a potentially fatal disease for cats. The kitten was taken in by the shelter at the end of the day and has remained quarantined since its arrival, with no exposure to other animals.

To prevent any risk of disease spread, the shelter has decided to quarantine the entire ward. They clarified that this incident is unrelated to a previous case of Panleukopenia reported a few weeks ago.
The shelter remains open for dog intakes, dog adoptions, and cat adoptions. For those who have found stray cats or are looking for lost pets, they recommend using resources such as For the Love of Louie and PetCo Love Lost.
