The two cats I'm fostering aren't sick but rather weren't eating because they were depressed at the shelter. So I'm glad I don't have to worry about upper respiratory but now my concern is how my own cats handle it and the little time I am able to interact with the fosters. They will be kept...
I know it's been a while since I last posted on this thread but I wanted to provide an update. Charlie's limp eventually went away! I was going to take her in for xrays but decided to give it another week or two of rest. I separated her from my other cat for about a week and the limp seemed...

I adopted Charlie about a year before I decided to adopt my second cat, Boyd. Charlie is a cat that loves to be around people and is very curious, so I thought she would accept Boyd right away, but I was wrong! I kept them separate for only a couple days and decided just to let them get used...
