HI! I have a question, but first a little background info on me;
I have one cat of my own, almost 3 yr old male Maui
I have one foster cat Diva
I am in the middle of trapping, vetting and rehabilitating 5 kittens and 2 moms. I understand the work involved. All cats I catch have spots in my rescue, my friend and I have foster duties.
There is also an injured male cat I want to catch.
So FIP is airborne right? Even with fosters my own cat could catch this, the good outweighs the bad. With these feral cats, is the risk greater? If the disease is airborne, they (my own cats) could catch it even if an infected animal was secluded to one room right? My rescue does not test for diseases unfortunately.
I am mostly worried about the injured male Scar. The neighbourhood kids call him that. His ears are in such bad shape it looks like he has none, but they are folded over in a weird way. His eyes looked very pink. Hes been out there for over a year at least. I want to catch him as well.
Please help!!
