Friday’s search warrant at a Spurloch Court home led Henrico Police to seize several cats and move them to the county animal shelter for quarantine and veterinary care.
A July 15 welfare check had uncovered cats in and around the home that may have been exposed to confirmed feline parvo, though officials said it remains unclear whether neighborhood cats had contact with them.
No charges had been filed as of Saturday, but animal control officers urged Magnolia Ridge residents to make sure cats are current on the feline distemper vaccine, the core shot that prevents feline panleukopenia.
Officials said cats showing diarrhea, vomiting or low energy after possible exposure should be taken to a veterinarian immediately as authorities monitor the Glen Allen outbreak.
