Hi friends,
We keep all of our kitties indoors and don't board them, and we don't have a dog. Basic question: we just brought in a semi-feral and have kept her separate from everyone in a bathroom. It has been bitterly cold in CT the last few weeks, and she was outdoors until 1/2/18. We just couldn't leave her out there anymore. Do you think the chances are good that she would introduce fleas/ticks/mites into the house? We're not "precious" about our house, but don't want to let her out of bathroom into adjacent room til we know. Ideally we want to get her to a vet first, of course. Does anyone have a clue? Just looking for general idea or opinion--no worries about liability! Thank you.
