face, chest, paws, tummy, and my hands a carrot color. I'd love to get

I’m searching for answers on why TeeCee
went from a healthy 30lb tom to a 8lb skeleton in
three weeks. He was given the 4 way vaccine and Rabies, could this do it? I’m

I agree Tad. If you adopt or take in a cat that has ever been exposed to another cat you really have no idea. My opinion is vaccinate your cats/kittens when you get them, and hope for the best. If someone gets sick, test. If positive, treat as best you can. I don't think there's any way you ca

You can buy kitty wipes for cleaning sick cats at a lot of pet food stores.

Perhaps giving one test is going to be the best some shelters can do - and
just try to do the best we can...
