Can diseases transfer from my deceased cat to my healthy dog?

I recently had a cat die from some disease she got from a farel cat and I have a healthy German shepherd I was wondering if she could get sick too from the cat

I am sorry to hear that your cat passed away so suddenly. However, to answer your question, it depends on the disease/illness your cat had. Please repost with the particular disease that your previous cat had so that we can give you a complete answer to your question. However, generally speaking there are not many diseases that can transfer from cat to dog that are life-threatening.
