i took in a cat from a guy that said he was moving and couldn’t take his cat with him. we found the cat a new home…today the people called and said he tested pos. for feline leukemia. no vet is open for me to ask and I’m not very good on the internet,finding what I’m looking for. so please if there is a vet or equally educated person..please help.. the most important thing i am worried about is my family.can they get it? i have a 4yr old who gives kisses to kitty(i know its gross and try to make sure he doesn’t but have missed a few I’m sure). and the kids have been scratched while playing with the cats..
also what should i do for the our own cats,now that they have been exposed(yes i am taking them all in first thing monday to be tested). like how do i clean up so it wont spread or stay in my house and on my property? help!!
No hon, this disease can not be passed to humans, however it can be passed very quickly to other cats who are not vaccinated. So if your going to keep the kitty then it will be a long list of medications just to keep the immune system up. If you decided to have the cat put down because of the medical reasons then find out for sure from your vet how long the disease lingers in your home before you can bring in another one. That I am not sure of. Best of luck to you. So no worries, you don’t have to go get vaccinated. My prayers go out to you and your baby…
Cat Furniture – A Must Have For Making Your New Kitty Feel At Home
Your family decided that it’s time to get a pet and now a furry little kitty is sitting all happy in your home. In order to make him feel completely welcomed, you should really have some nice cat furniture in place for him.
If you have never had a cat as a pet before, then it’s probably a good idea to get him a couple different cat furniture selections. The first one being a lovely kitty condo, which gives your kitty a wonderful place to sleep because of its fantastic design. Normally, one has a cylindrical shape and stands anywhere between two to three feet off the ground. It will have enclosed sleeping areas where your kitty can jump into and curl up for a nice nap or a long night’s rest. Made from wood that is then covered in a durable fabric, usually carpeting, it is an extremely sturdy selection that is great for putting anywhere throughout your home.
Another cat furniture option that is a must have are cat trees. This cat furnishing provides your kitty with a fantastic place to get rid of its energy instead of on your furniture. It will feature juxtaposing limbs and will be three to four feet in height, perfect for letting him jump and play all that he wants. Just like the kitty condo, it too will generally be made out of wood and carpeting, which also provides your kitty with a great place to scratch to its heart’s content.
Some other cat furniture that you could get for your kitty includes kitty gyms, scratching posts, window and wall perches, and even steps to help him jump up on things, but that probably won’t be necessary until it gets really old. Along with getting your kitty some cat furniture, there are also some other cat supplies that he will need as well. Like a litter box and kitty litter for one, a collar is also a must have and some other things you’ll need to get is food, a brush, some toys, treats to help train it, and a pet carrier to take it to those important vet visits.
To easily purchase everything that you will need for your new cat, forget about going to the local pet store to do it. Instead, the thing to do is to go online and do some shopping. It’s extremely convenient because you just have to click through the different online sites to find what you need. When you do make a purchase, it will generally be at the best prices possible, plus, it will then be shipped right to your home. Basically, shopping has never been so simple.
So, if you just purchased a new kitty, it’s important to have some cat furniture in place for him to feel right at home in his new surrounds. Otherwise, if he feels unsure and unsafe, he will never get used to his new surroundings and that is a bad thing. Therefore, keep him happy and go out and purchase some today.
