That horrible animal control I have been complaining about on here determined that a respiratory infection was "sweeping through the shelter." The end result.. two kittens and at least four adults -- possibly more -- were PTS. The director there doesn't believe in quarantine and treat... she'd rather whip out the ole needle.
One of the local rescues managed to get two cats - a lynx point and a Himmie pulled from the infamous "back room" and saved them.
My friend Jennifer went up and paid for a big brown tabby named Casper... b/c he was paid for... and I guess didn't present with any "symptoms", they let her do this. I took him in.. and he is in quarantine right now in the half-bath off of the kitchen. He was terrified and really shut down at AC. He is still terrified, but trusted me enough to let me comb him and give him pets and scritches. He rewarded me with purring, kneading and a few tentative kisses.
However - he is not eating much. I managed to get him to eat about tablespoon of wet mixed with tuna juice off my fingers.
How long before I should really start to worry??? He ate a tiny bit of kibble the first night. And used the litter box.
