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.

No, it's not the same disease and cats cannot get parvo from dogs. She won't be protected from serious cat illnesses, however, since she hasn't had vaccines since she was young. You will need to update Rosie on them.
