Abstract: 

A case of verrucous endocarditis of the mitral valve was diagnosed in a domestic tomcat. The animal appeared to have died of cardiac failure and/or septicemic shock as septic emboli were present in multiple organs such as the liver and kidneys. The mitral valve was covered with multiple yellow/grey cauliflower-like nodules. Culture of these nodules revealed Pasteurella multocida after isolation and identification.
