Fecal samples from 50 domeslic cats from Goiânia and surroundings were examined for coccidia. Three species of Isospora were found: 1) I. felis (Wenyon, 1923) with oocysts 36, 5-57,6 micra by 25,3-41,5 micra with a mean of 21 by 17 micra were found in 76% of the cats. 2) Isospora rivolta (Grassi, 1879, Wenyon 1923), with oocysts 20-28 micra by 15-24,9 micra, with a mean of 20,8 by 16,8 micra; and sporocysts 13-9 by 7-10 micra, with a meun by 10,3 by 8,6 micra were found in 30% of the cats; 3) Isospora bigemina (Etiles 1891, Luhe, 1906) with oocysts 12,6-16 micra by 11,4-15,3 micra with a mean of 10,3 by 8,6 micra and sporocysts 6,3 by 9,3 micra with a mean of 7,3 by 5,5 micra were found in 20% of the cats.
