Parvo is a species specific virus and cats cannot get the dog version of Parvo. Cats do have their own version of a cat Parvo called Panleukepenia. You do need to make sure Anna is kept up to date on this vaccine as she could get the virus from other cats. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.
