Ideal Protocol for Minimizing FcoV Introduction or Spread

Professor Will’s Says:

  • Reduce the number of cats in any area
    • In rescue facilities cats should be kept singly (if not possible – not more than 2 cats per cage)
    • Cats should be kept in small groups according to their antibody or virus excretion status
      • Antibody or virus negative cats together
      • Antibody or virus positive cats together
    • Prevention of kitten infection
      • Rescuers or owners of pregnant cats should follow the “early weaning and isolation” protocol outlined below
    • Reducing fecal contamination of the environment
      • Have adequate number of litter trays (1 tray per 1-2 cats)
      • Have adequate number of scoopers (1 x each tray)
      • Litter trays should be de-clumped at least daily (using its own scooper)
      • Use non-tracking litter
      • Remove all litter and disinfect litter trays at least once a week
      • Place litter trays away from food dishes
  • Wash food and water dishes in hot water (ideally in dishwasher hot cycle – 140F / 60C)
  • Wash bedding in hot water (140F / 60C)
  • Vacuum around litter trays regularly
  • Clip fur off hindquarters of long-hair cats
  • Disinfect pens between occupants using 1:32 dilution of sodium hypochlorite (household bleach) and hot water
  • Allow pens to lie empty (if possible)
  • Vacuum floors diligently and clean with cat friendly disinfectant and steam clean (if possible)
  • In rescue shelters, please train your personnel and/or volunteers to use disposable gloves and change them regularly (every time they move from cleaning one pen to another)
  • In rescue shelters, please train your volunteers to notify the employee in charge of the cat facility if any signs of disease are noted in the cats
  • Please isolate sick cats to prevent spread of infection (not just FCoV)
