My unvaccinated 8-month-old cat is throwing up. Could it be parvo?

Question

I was given a cat and according to my friend he has only been vaccinated with the first set of shots the cat is 8 months old and has been vommiting all night and part of the day. Is there a possibility the cat may have contracted parvo. He's always seemed fine and healthy but he has thrown up 8 times in a 24 hr period. I did not see blood in his bowels or white parasites in his bowels im just concerned.

It sounds as your cat is suffering from a gastrointestinal condition, possibly an infection (could be parvo). it could also be due to ingestion of a foreign body material. i would recommend taking him to the vet the first chance you get, he will need to be checked first, if the vet thinks it's a simple gastrointestinal infection he will need an anti vomiting injection, antibiotics and a special food for a few days in order to get better.
