Hi,
I will go on vacation for a few days in June and will put my two year-old female cat at a cat pension. She is vaccinated agains feline leukemia, panleucopenia, calcivirose, rhinotracheitis, and rabies, even if she does not go outside. I visited the premises last month. It is very clean and was impressed by how cats are taken care of. My concern is that I read about so many stories on this website about cats who caught FIP and the dramatic consequences of this disease. The pension owner will let my cat out of her big cage twice a day, to let her play, probably with the other cats. This is why I chose this pension, as my cat will not be confined in a cage for 5 days, and can get out.
Is she at risk of catching FIP? I know for sure that the owners of all cats staying there must show a proof (vaccination certificates from the vet) that their animal was vaccinated against all diseases mentioned above, except for FIP.
I realise she may get fleas and worms, but I will treat her one week before she goes there with Revolution, and again one month after.
Thank you for your reply!
