IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR ALL ADOPTERS
Cats are
subject to many life-threatening viruses and parasites, most of which can be
transmitted from cat to cat. Cats'N'Us does not know the backgrounds of
most of our cats and kittens, many of whom are strays or unwanted pets,
and have never been vaccinated to protect them from these potentially fatal
problems. Although the cats at the shelter are routinely vaccinated and checked
for parasites, Cats'N'Us does not have the funding to provide complete
prevention and/or treatment for these types of problems which occur in every
shelter.
While we do our best to provide for their
health, there are times when we are not able to discern an already incubating
illness which can later be transmitted to any cat or cats you already have at
home.Therefore, we strongly recommend having a veterinarian
check your new cat or kitten within the two-day grace period required upon
adoption.
PLEASE protect any resident cat you
may have in your home by keeping your new arrivals in a separate location for a
recommended period of time, allowing them plenty of time to integrate with your
other cats.
BE AWARE! Any noticeable changes in
your cats, be they shelter or resident, such as runny nose, fever, loss of
appetite, inability or refusal to drink water, reduced activity levels, eye
problems, etc., should signal the necessity of an immediate visit to your
veterinarian because:
Cats'N'Us is not responsible for any problems resulting from
contact between your adopted cat(s)/kitten(s) and your resident cat(s)/kitten(s).
