A therapy cat in a nursing home in Germany was infected with SARS-CoV-2 during a cluster outbreak among the home residents. Despite prolonged presence of virus RNA in the asymptomatic cat, genome sequencing revealed that the cat did not play a further role in human infections on site.

Although we confirmed prolonged presence of virus RNA in the asymptomatic cat, genome sequencing showed no further role of the cat in human infections on site.
