      Some animals can catch COVID. In fact it is likely that the SARS-COVID2 virus originally came from animals. It has been confirmed that mink, cats (including many species of wild cats), and some types of deer can get covid. In most cases the animals are not sick and they cannot transmit the virus back to people
