INTRODUCTION: Sporotrichosis is a mycosis affecting both humans and animals. Within the context of the ongoing sporotrichosis epidemic in the State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, sick cats plays an important role in the zoonotic transmission. The aim of this study was to update the number of feline cases diagnosed at the Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (2005-2011). METHODS: The medical records of the cats followed were reviewed; the inclusion criterion was the isolation of Sporothrix spp. in culture. RESULTS: In total, 2,301 feline cases were identified. CONCLUSIONS: These results should alert sanitary authorities to the difficulties associated with sporotrichosis control.
