The obtained result of a 120 samples was,37 cats infected by T.gondii (IgM) with sero-prevalence rate 30.8%, 72 cats infected by T.gondii (IgG) with sero-prevalence rate 60%,the total sero –prevalence rate of T.gondii (IgM, IgG) was 109(90.8%), 18 cats sero –positive for FeLV with sero-prevalence rate 15% and 31 cats sero-positive for FIV with sero –prevalence 25.8%.
