Cats Have Blood Types, Too


by JaneA Kelley, Cat expert and animal communicator 

 


	
 

Cats have three blood types: A, B, and AB. Most non-pedigreed cats, as well
as American Shorthairs, Siamese and other Oriental breeds, have Type A.
Devon Rex, Cornish Rex, and about 15 percent of Persian and Abyssinian cats
have type B. Type AB is rare, but it has been found across a number of
breeds. 

Cats, like humans, can have potentially fatal reactions if given the wrong
blood type. But don't worry -- if your vet can't find a donor in your area,
there are kitty blood banks, too!
