Sneezing, congestion, watery eyes and nose.... Has one of your cats caught a cold? It could be feline herpes, also known as feline viral rhinopneumonitis (FVR), rhinotracheitis virus and feline herpesvirus type 1 (FHV-1), and one of the most common causes of upper respiratory infections in cats. Many cats are exposed to this virus at some point in their lives.

Nearly 75% of cats entering shelters each year are killed. Many of them are community cats ("stray" or "feral" cats). If these cats have a community cat caregiver, a trap-neuter-return (TNR) program gets them to a vet where they are spayed/neutered and vaccinated and then returned to the colony. Once TNR is complete, these free-roaming cats are able to stay out of the shelter system and live happy, healthy lives.
