South Florida faces fast-spreading feline parvo with warning for owners

A highly contagious and deadly strain of feline panleukopenia is spreading through South Florida cat populations, affecting both kittens and adults with no cure—only supportive care. Incubation is 2–7 days, and outbreaks are fueled by heat and overpopulation; symptoms include loss of appetite, dehydration, vomiting, diarrhea, and lethargy. Rescue groups like Purrr Adoption & Sanctuary are offering low-cost vaccines ($25 per shot, with three doses recommended) to curb the spread. Local shelters report rising cases and quarantines (Miami-Dade and Broward), highlighting the urgent need for vaccination, testing, and preventive care for felines.

A stray cat at PurrfectlyFeral in Llangedwyn, Powys, gave birth to Gemini, a kitten with diprosopus (two noses and two mouths). The rare condition, also known as a Janus kitten, usually results in stillbirth or short survival, but Gemini is being bottle-fed hourly and monitored around the clock as rescuers call it a tiny miracle; the mother rejected the firstborn, and the eight-kitten litter is being cared for with donations.

Gemini the Janus kitten: rare two-nosed, two-mouthed miracle at Welsh cat rescue

A Welsh cat rescue in Powys, PurrfectlyFeral, is caring for Gemini, a kitten born with diprosopus (craniofacial duplication) giving it two noses and two mouths. The eight-kitten litter’s firstborn was rejected by its mother, so Gemini requires hourly bottle feeds and around-the-clock monitoring; rescuers describe the tiny kitten as a miraculous rarity, since Janus cats are extremely uncommon and often do not survive, with donations essential to continued care.
