The aim of the study was to determine and identify how frequent the presence of gastrointestinal parasites in domestic cats from the district of Jesús María neighborhood in Lima, Peru. A total of 87 fecal samples were collected and analyzed in the Animal Parasitology Laboratory from Cayetano Heredia Peruvian University, where were applied four (4) techniques of diagnosis: Direct exam, Flotation test, Ziehl Neelsen staining and Concentration by Sedimentation. Additionally, eight genera of parasites were identified: Isospora, Giardia, Toxocara, Toxascaris, Dipylidium, Entamoeba, Hammondia and Blastocystis; where four of these (Toxocara cati, Giardia spp., Dipylidium caninum and Blastocystis spp.) are a public health concern as they have zoonotic potential. This study found a frequency of 49.4% (43/87), with a higher presentation of Isospora spp. (18/87), followed by Toxascaris leonina (9/87). In addition, it was found a significant difference between positive felines and five variables: non sterilized cats (58.8%), cats with soft feces (90.5%), cats with a frequency of deworming of three months (80.0%), cats that live with other animals (82.55%) and outdoor cats (91.7%). Finally, within the parasitic associations 88.4% presented monoparasitism and 11.6% presented biparasitism where the most frequent association was Toxascaris leonina - Dipylidium caninum. The frequency of gastrointestinal parasites in domestic cats from the district of Jesús María was moderated, therefore it is important to take proper measures and manage predisposing factors to reduce and prevent the risk of infection in pets and their owners.
