Good evening, all!
I'm new to this group, and came here in hopes I could get some
feedback/advice on multicat homes with pos and neg cats.
Specifically, I currently have neg cats, and am looking to assist a
FeLeuk kitty. We have a nice size home, and have a large spare room
that can be easily converted for a FeLeuk cat to be isolated from my
neg guys. My major concerns really are what types of precautions
will need to be taken to protect the neg cats from contracting it,
and protecting the pos cat from any issues as well. I have been
doing some extensive reading, and aside from common sense things
(dedicated food dish, litterbox, etc, using bleach solutions to
sanitize), what else should I be aware of to protect the cats from
eachother? Pardon my questions if they come across as silly, I just
want the best for these guys and don't want to place any undue harm
on anys cats, or commit to something I can't do. How long does the
virus actually survive in the environment? Is there anything I
should be doing when going between the FeLeuk room and my cats to
prevent transmission (change clothes, etc)? If any of you have a set
up like this, can you give me specifics on how you are making it
work? How contagious and easily does the virus actually transmit
from an affected cat? I think this should cover my barrage of
questions for now. Any feedback on what to do is greatly
appreciated. Thanks, everyone!
