Dogs and cats each have their own blood typing system and can only receive blood from their own species- The basic feline blood typing system consists of types A, B, and AB. About 95% of cats in the United States are type A, about 5% are type B, and are type AB. While any breed can be any blood type, Type B is more prevalent in breeds such as Devon and Cornish Rexes, and American, British, and Exotic Shorthairs. Cats should only receive transfusions with blood of their own blood type.
