Thank you for the details! I can definitely come up with something with my situation. I volunteer as a kitten vet tech assistant and she's not there those days and I have to do whatever needs to be done lol.Where I volunteer they have community rooms and cats in individual cages in the back in various stages of going through the process. It's typically a two week process of testing, shots, spay/neuter, etc before they become adoptable. With the rooms, we wash our hands thoroghly between rooms, don't use the same trash bag across rooms, change all water and food bowls. We carry our own pens to note what we see in the rooms, and we also let the shift leader know if anything unusal is going on. Any cats with Panleuk or other contagious diseases, you don't have to do if you're uncomfortable. The one we had recently, a volunteer who has only dogs did her room. In the back we wear gowns and change them when we go to another bay. We've been advised to leave our shoes outside when we go home and to shower immediately and put the clothes in a hamper or wash right away. A couple times they've had a breakout of ringwork, and those cats are isolated and tended to by staff, not volunteers.
