Taylor's Ark. Taylor’s Ark, #1

Colony after colony, a strange epidemic is spreading. Dr. Shona Taylor is determined to find the cure before it's too late. And she is not alone. By her side is a menagerie of very special assistants: An Abyssinian cat, a family of mine-canary mice, a pair of dwarf rabbits, an alien ottle, and a Bernese Mountain dog named Saffie, whose genetically altered immune system can synthesize vaccines. They're a doctor's best friends, and they're all aboard Taylor's Ark.
