Hi All - I'm new here, and have a question.
Background: An outdoor cat that hung around my sister's house became pregnant. Sister let her in, and she had 6 kittens. She abandoned the kittens, never to return, all but one died - sister's husband hand nursed it. It is now on solid foods & a social, spunky kitten. It has not yet been vetted.
Now my other sister wants it, but lives 6 hrs away from first sister. I live in between both, and am willing to pick it up for Sister2. It would have to stay at my house for 4 days. I am mom to two young indoor cats. Is there any threat to their health by me bringing in this kitten for a few days since it hasn't been de-wormed or vetted? Will I have to keep them apart? (that will be tricky). I want to help rehome this kitten, but not at the risk of harming my boys.
I welcome all responses.
