Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If the puppy died from parvo and if parvo was the reason why Cat was vomiting and having diarrhea they do build up an immunity. Some say life long. But we don’t know if that’s why Cat was sick. There are many causes and other viruses that could be blamed. You need to get her vaccinated to protect her. Good luck!
