I believe it doesn't have one either for pregnant bitches, so shouldnt be used for caesars...happy to be corrected if this is no longer the case though!

Currently only licenced in dogs. Or so I was told at our VMD inspection a few months ago.

Sevo does not have a license for use in cats. This should be on the data sheet, it also always used to be stated on the bottle.

I'm not very well qualified to help (at all qualified, in fact!), but no mention of cats on the VMD Product Information Database, searching for 'Sevoflurane':
