tea tree oil problem

[ms688]

hello friends! i keep my kittens in a large enclosed hallway right now (abt 20ft long) there was a tea tree oil spill in the bathroom that connects, there's no access to the oil itself but the scent is very strong. do i need to worry? it's fading but they are in an area where the scent is very obvious.

edit to add: they are 5-7 months old

Hi, do you have a way to set up a fan in the bathroom, and also run the ceiling fan if it has one, and get the odor away from them?

The bathroom has no power outlets (old home, it's an issue!) but I could probably open a window for a few minutes but its almost freezing out, so I'd hate to make them cold too. The smell is fading pretty fast but I know it's not good for them, I just don't know HOW bad

It is a problem. Yes trea oil is very toxic to cats. Even inhaled it can cause respiratory damage among other things. You need to move them somewhere where it doesn’t smell like it.
