Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! There is no standard of care established chemotherapy for squamous cell carcinoma in cats. However, most recently we have been using doxorubicin and Palladia. Assuming that you are referring to the oral form of squamous cell carcinoma, this is a highly aggressive form of disease that does not tend to respond to therapy well. Good luck!
