Okay. Olivia (foster kitty) had a serious flea problem when rescued. She got Capstar (to kill live fleas) about three days ago. This morning I put some Frontline on her (for the eggs).
I am strapped for cash and do not want to treat my currently flea-free house cats, and want to know when it will be safe, without risking transmission of fleas, to:
1.) Move her crate into the main part of the apartment, off the covered back porch
2.) Start letting her out of the crate and sharing litter boxes and food bowls with my cats.
I'm going to guess #1 will be safe rather soon, as soon as the Frontline can be expected to get rid of the flea eggs and such that are most likely still stuck to her fur, and provided I use a separate scoop for her litter box.
Has anybody had experience with quarantine, and ensuring nothing spreads to the house cats?
