Pumpkin had a severe URI when he was found last year, caused by herpes. I very much want to adopt a shelter cat, but I'm wondering if Pumpkin's herpes diagnosis alone could cause a shelter to refuse the adoption of a healthy cat?
Originally I was going to pick a kitten.. but as kittens aren't grown enough or haven't been exposed, I'm now thinking it wouldn't be the right decision (and probably wouldn't be allowed anyway). He gets "the winks" every now-and-then (sometimes congestion in his sinuses), but I cater to his health and symptoms. He's active and healthy otherwise. Just recently I read about the benefit of giving Lysine as a supplement. We'll be starting that this week.
What do you think?
