    Sporotrichosis is an infectious fungal disease caused by a complex of dimorphic and geological fungi of the Sporothrix spp. It presents in lymphatic cutaneous, fixed cutaneous, disseminated cutaneous and sometimes extracutaneous forms. It has a zoonotic character, in which domestic cats are identified as an important source of infection. Other forms of contagion include the traumatic inoculation of the agent during handling of contaminated soil, vegetables and organic matter. The recommended treatment is with antifungals, especially itraconazole. Currently, it is considered an emerging zoonosis of public health risk, in Brazil several occurrences have been reported in animals and humans, mainly in the South and Southeast regions. The objective of this work is to transmit knowledge about the importance and risks that can be caused by the fungus Sporothrix schenckii in domestic cats.
