SOUTH ELGIN — An outbreak of a deadly cat virus sweeping across the
country has struck the Anderson Animal Shelter here, killing at least
40 felines at the shelter in the past two weeks.

The shelter, which normally finds homes for strays, temporarily has
stopped taking in and adopting out cats in order to limit the spread
of the disease, known as feline parvovirus or panleukopenia.
Volunteers also have been told to stay away while employees clean the
facility from top to bottom.

Most were kittens - not surprising.  Sounds like they didn't have very
good isolation procedures and/or handling policies, and possibly
group-housed kittens.  So sad.
