Hi y'all. I know that many of you, like me, are in rescue. In a private non rescue type home situation with 1 or 2 pets and one of them is positive, it's a little bit different than in a rescue situation where you have a positive cat, although separated, in the same home as rescue cats that do come in and out a lot.
I vaccinate my rescue cats, of course, but still we do have the Khasia no URI that infects the home from a shelter cat or another sick cat that comes in here. Well most of my cats that have been here for any length of time are well protected by Vaccinations and although my positive, Awesome Pawsome , is in my back bedroom and never goes outside here, still I know that URIs are airborne and can also enter the room other ways, including on me, and that cats get sick easy. At the present moment, for instance, I hAve 13 rescue fosters here, besides my own 3. Trying to be realistic and responsible, but i trust you all here more than my own vet on this one. Awesome Pawsome was born positive with FeLV infection from her mom. Before I knew that she was actually positive I had already given her her initial FVR CP vaccine and one booster. I would say she's been very lucky since then because she's almost six years old now. I vaccinate my cats my regular cats. I would never have him around other rescue cats if I didn't vaccinate them. But I am afraid to vaccinate Pawsome. And afraid not to. What do you other rescue people do regarding yours? And if you vaccinate, which type/brand is best for our positives? (And why?). Thanks in advance for any advice and experience you can share. Sealed with a purr...... =^.,^=
