Hello. Here is my situation. I recently started volunteering at the local petsmart store cleaning the cat cages and handling the cats and socializing them by playing with them and holding them. Ok, recently, I noticed that some of the kittens/cats was sneezing. One cat I had taken from the cage sneezed right in my mouth as I pulled her out. Before i leave there i usually use the sanitizer in the store to clean my hands. Once home i use my own again. I reported all this to the President of the shelter. My concern is this... Can I contract or somehow bring anything unhealthy into my living space at home that will harm my own cat. I have not had my cat quit a year and he has been very happy and healthy. He runs and plays and slides across the floors and having a ball. I need to know the risk and if anyone can shed some light on this topic for me. I hate to have to do it, but ill give up helping out if it means I could make my own cat sick.. Any information will be appreciated. I love animals but not at the risk of my own pet.
