How long after a kitten is vaccinated before it has enough antibodies to be exposed to the virus ? I ask because I recently fostered a kitten who ended up having panleukopenia. The house can't possible be disinfected 100% and I don't want to risk infecting another kitten so I will only foster...

I am so incredibly sad... I foster for the local SPCA and have an assortement of kittens in the house. They were all fine and happy. Then 2 weesk ago the SPCA called and asked if I had room for a very pregnant momma cat so I said sure. She was kept separate from the others as I do with all my...

Hi all! Here's my dilema... I am currently fostering 3 kittens who all had a URI around Christmas and one is still sneezing all over the place. Once the kitties are better, they go back to the shelter for adoption and I will likely get a pregnant momma cat. I know I will have to disinfect...

A friend of mine was laughing at my foster cat in heat and she said she heard of a pill of sorts that you can give to females to control the hormones until they get spayed. Not necessarily a birth control pill but a "heat control pill". Anyone ever hear of this ? This female is being fostered...

Yes, I know - foolproof way is getting her spayed !! That part is coming ! She is a foster that is living with me and is scheduled to go back to the shelter mid-december. She will be spayed before she gets adopted out but in the meantime, she's my problem... On friday she went into heat...
