What Is “Herpes Virus?
Feral cats are sometimes diagnosed with Herpes Virus. It is a treatable common respiratory pathogen. Cats who have this virus should not be killed or considered unadoptable. This virus is exasperated from stress, which is why you may see ferals (and shelter cats) with runny eyes and noses. The symptoms range from very mild to severe. Please discuss treatment with your veterinarian.
