Felines can't/do not carry the canine Parvo virus. Felines do however have their own strain of a nasty virus called Panleukopenia which yields similar symptoms to that of Parvo in canines, but it is NOT zoonotic/transmittable to another species.

Whatever vet said that felines can carry the canine Parvovirus should be fired, lol.

On the other hand......it IS a good idea to keep dogs away from feral cat stool, as feral cats are very prone to carrying intestinal parasites which CAN be transmitted interspecies. And as we all know, dogs always seem to be attracted to cat stool like it's candy, lol.
