A less frequently isolated species is <jats:italic>Listeria ivanovii<\/jats:italic>, which causes infections mainly in ruminants, most often associated with reproductive disorders, such as abortions, stillbirths, or neonatal mortality. Sporadic infections with this microorganism have been described in other animal species; however, no literature data, to our knowledge, describe the infection of <jats:italic>L. ivanovii<\/jats:italic> in cats.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Case presentation<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>\n              <jats:italic>L<\/jats:italic>.\u00a0<jats:italic>ivanovii<\/jats:italic> was isolated from tissue samples collected from a kitten with symptoms of acute catarrhal gastroenteritis. Fragments of the liver, spleen, kidneys, and small intestine were collected post-mortem for microbiological examination. The isolated microorganism was identified as <jats:italic>L. ivanovii<\/jats:italic> based on its phenotypic properties and 16\u00a0S rRNA sequencing. The identification of subspecies <jats:italic>L. ivanovii<\/jats:italic> subsp. <jats:italic>ivanovii<\/jats:italic> was performed by comparative analysis of the <jats:italic>sigB<\/jats:italic> gene sequences.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>\n              <jats:italic>Listeria ivanovii<\/jats:italic>, which is more commonly known as a ruminant pathogen, can also cause severe infections in cats.
