I have four cats of my own...
I rescued 3 kittens about 6-8 weeks old from under a friends shed with the intention of taking them to the HS so they will be adopted out spayed or neutered. 2 of the kittens are strong enough to go to a shelter environment for adoption but 1 is not. She is obviously the runt and very tiny, thin and not feeling well at all. She does get up to eat but that is about it. She's not throwing up and stools look good but she needs a couple weeks in a home environment and a vet
I'm sure they all have worms (big tummys) and ears are very crusted on the inside (mites).
Kittens are in the bathroom, my cats have run of the house and there has been no contact at all.
Question: how are ear mites transmitted and can my cats get ear mites from the kittens from my clothes or will ear mites travel under a crack in the door? I'm trying to be very very careful washing my hands and throwing all paper plates and fecal matter out the door as soon as its bagged but can I carry the mites on my clothes?
