5 Reasons Cat Parents Are Looking Closer at What's in the Litter Box

Your cat can't tell you when something feels off. One stool sample, collected at home, screens for 27 targets and comes back as a report you can actually read.

1. Cats are experts at acting normal.

Cats don't always make it obvious when something is bothering them. Sometimes the first change you notice is in the litter box.

A stool screening can offer another piece of information when something seems off — or a clear baseline while everything seems fine.

  • Soft stool
  • Diarrhea
  • Vomiting
  • Weight loss
  • Low appetite
  • Low energy
  • Litter box changes
  • A clear baseline

2. Real results. In language you understand.

Your digital report helps you understand what was detected, what wasn't, and what the findings may mean.

You can share it with your veterinarian to discuss next steps — or, if you don't have one, talk it through with a vet from our partner Pawp.

Everything we tested — every target, and what came back clear.
What it means — one plain-language answer.

3. One sample. 27 targets.

Petwealth uses PCR to look for genetic material from 27 organisms and targets in the feline fecal panel — selected bacteria and toxins, viruses, intestinal worms and protozoa.

PCR testing looks for genetic material from the organisms included in the panel, rather than waiting for an egg to show up under a microscope.

Bacteria & toxins 5 targets
Clostridium perfringens alpha toxin (CPA), Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin (CPE), Campylobacter jejuni, Campylobacter coli, Salmonella spp.
Viruses 2 targets
Feline panleukopenia virus, Feline coronavirus (FeCoV)
Intestinal worms 11 targets
Toxocara cati, Toxocara canis, Toxascaris leonina, Baylisascaris procyonis, Ancylostoma, Uncinaria stenocephala, Trichuris vulpis, Dipylidium caninum, Taenia spp., Echinococcus granulosus, Echinococcus multilocularis
Protozoa 9 targets
Tritrichomonas blagburni, Giardia spp., Cystoisospora spp., Eimeria spp., Cryptosporidium spp., Cryptosporidium felis, Cryptosporidium canis, Toxoplasma gondii, Neospora caninum

Every sample is processed by PCR in our laboratory.

Dr. Sharon MacIvor is a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine with more than 40 years of clinical experience in private practice. As owner and medical director of a Miami veterinary practice, she diagnoses and treats infectious and reportable diseases, leads emergency triage and surgical care, and has built her practice around rigorous biosecurity, isolation, and infection-control protocols.

Her expertise spans infectious and zoonotic disease management, risk evaluation and containment, and regulatory compliance — work that has included coordinating with local and state public health authorities and maintaining clinical operations through crisis conditions. During the COVID-19 pandemic she served as a relief veterinarian across South Florida hospitals, sustaining urgent and surgical care through staffing shortages and strict public-health restrictions.

Dr. MacIvor earned her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Ross University College of Veterinary Medicine.

At Petwealth, she helps ensure that every panel reflects the same diagnostic rigor and preventive-care philosophy she brings to the exam room.

Veterinary Medical Advisor

Dr. Amy Attas always knew she wanted to be a veterinarian — there's photographic evidence that her first patient was Spot, a black-and-white plush toy, when she was just five years old. She landed her first real job in a veterinary hospital at thirteen and hasn't stopped since.

A lifelong New Yorker, she attended Barnard College before heading to the University of Pennsylvania, where she earned both a master's degree in animal behavior and her doctorate in veterinary medicine. She returned to New York to complete a one-year internship in medicine and surgery at the Animal Medical Center in Manhattan, then spent four years at a prestigious small-animal practice on Park Avenue.

In 1992, she founded City Pets, a veterinary house-call service whose team cares for the dogs and cats living, working, and visiting in New York City. A serial pug rescuer, Dr. Amy splits her time between New York and Connecticut with her husband, Steve, and their rescued pug puppy, Kokoru. She is the author of Pets and the City: True Tales of a Manhattan House Call Veterinarian (Putnam, 2024).

Questions

Questions people ask

Everything you need to know about testing, results, and working with your vet.

View all FAQs
What does the test screen for?

The feline fecal panel screens for 27 targets: selected bacteria and bacterial toxin genes, viruses, intestinal worms, and protozoa. PCR testing looks for genetic material from the organisms included in the panel.

How do I collect a sample?

You collect a small stool sample from your cat's litter box using the kit, seal it in the prepaid mailer, and post it back — return shipping is free. Collection takes under two minutes. No clinic visit, no carrier.

How long do results take?

Most results are ready within 24 to 48 hours of your sample arriving at the laboratory. Samples are not processed on Saturdays or Sundays. You will get an email when your report is waiting in your Petwealth dashboard.

Does this replace a veterinarian?

No. Petwealth is a screening tool. It gives you and your veterinarian more information to work from, and your report is written so you can share it at your next appointment. Anything that looks urgent should go to your vet.

Can I test my cat without symptoms?

Yes. Many cat parents run a panel as a baseline, when a new cat joins the home, or once a year alongside a check-up. Knowing what a clear result looks like for your cat makes a future change easier to read.

What happens if something is detected?

Your report names what was found and explains what it may mean in plain language. A detected result does not on its own mean your cat is ill — some organisms can be present without causing symptoms. The report sets out what to monitor and what to discuss with your veterinarian. If you do not have one, Petwealth's partner Pawp can connect you with a licensed vet to talk through the results.

Can I share the report with my vet?

Yes. The report is digital and built to be shared or printed for an appointment.

Petwealth reports are intended for informational and educational purposes only. They are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease and should not replace the advice, diagnosis, or treatment recommendations of a licensed veterinarian. Consult your veterinarian about symptoms or results.
