Ill just jump right into whats going on. My son and his fiance just had a baby. They also have just moved into another place. They asked if I could keep their cats in my spare bathroom and bedroom for 2 days until they moved. I agreed.
They have Patches who has 6 4 week old kittens, Luna whom is pregnant, and Stripers who is a 6 month old kitten. All were asymptomatic when they dropped them off. (With the exception of a few crusties in a cpl kittens eyes)
Well, for Christmas I paid for spays and neuters for the 3 that would be old enough.
Ive had them for 2 weeks, and the kittens are sick. Conjuctivitis, sneezies, etc. I have a humidifier in the bathroom for them and clean their eyes every 3-4 hours when not at work. Video from tonight
Luna's kittens
Two nights ago, 2 of my 6 personal cats began sneezing. Last night I found my eldest, Izzi, as in the video.

I wash my hands after going in both rooms, nothing comes out of that room that can come in contact with my cats. (Other than my clothes )
I have noticed Patches playing footsies under the door with my cat, Stewpot, and he was the first one to start sneezing.
Now my son is not taking the cats back and I am in a horrible situation. I dont see any other option but to humanely euthanize the kitties, as I can't afford Vet bills for 15 cats and treatment.
Until I can get my cats in to see the Vet, I have started them on Doxy and sprinkling Fortiflora over the food w the Doxy. I will have to pick up some L-ysine and Terramycin as I dont have any on hand.
I feel absolutely horrible ab the situation, but I dont see any other options at this point. Am I wrong?
