The CDC provides guidance on bird flu in cats on its website. ACC, the New York Health Department and the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals are monitoring the animals together. In December, the city's health department and the CDC confirmed that a veterinarian had been infected at the ACC's Manhattan shelter. It was the first case of cat-to-human-transmission of the flu, the city's health department said. Residents who adopted a cat from an ACC shelter between November 12 and December 15 should monitor their pets for signs of sickness, officials said.
