Colorado has detected Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI H5N1) in 11 domestic cats, including both indoor-only and indoor-outdoor cats, with only one of these cats surviving the infection.

Cats appear to be highly susceptible to avian influenza and infections often result in death. Cases in Colorado cats have been linked to both raw pet food and raw poultry consumption.

To mitigate HPAI exposure to your companion animals, CDA and Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment recommend against feeding raw poultry products to domestic cats. Additionally, we recommend extra precautions when handling raw pet food or raw poultry, such as thoroughly washing hands and disinfecting surfaces.
