Can Alois at least go with you to pick up Tiny Blue?
I thought Alyssa was ready for the kittens to go.

Oh that's so sad ! A whole year .You were right Norachan Medley is perfectly fine. I do worry about him more than the others, just because he was so sick for so long. And his eye is getting better every day.
Today I found a tick on Sparrow. I checked and he got just one, and the others don't have any. I don't know why, I thought the Advantage took care of ticks too, but it doesn't. I'm going to go pick up some Revolution (Stronghold here) tomorrow. I got the tick out, and disinfected the area. He didn't like it at all, I had to treat him outside, he wouldn't let me do it inside.
I also got the rescue on the phone, and there was another panleuk outbreak. 2 kittens are hospitalized, one is worse than the other. Just like Leyia and Lays, they were at the vet for 2 weeks before being fostered. I asked, and it's the first year since the rescue operates that something like this happened. So, after Leyia is adopted, they won't let me foster for at least a year. Which means I'm not taking Tiny Blue in. I'm sad about it, but it might be best, I don't want to risk it.
I'm confused. Isn't panaleuk like Parvo? If Leyia doesn't have any symptoms, and never has, then your home is the one safe place for Tiny Blue. At her age, Leyia would have had symptoms by now. She doesn't have a strong enough immune system to fight it by herself.You were right Norachan Medley is perfectly fine.

OK. It's been so long that I forgot the issues with her. If she had it and was in your home, then the shelter is correct on this one. And so are you.Panleuk is like kitty parvo, yes. Actually, Leyia did survived panleuk, she had symptoms the day I brought her and Lays home. Lays was 15 days old, and she passed the next day. Leyia was 4 weeks old, and was at the vet for a week after that, and she made it. She's the only survivor out of all the kittens rescued with her. They were found in a garden, being raised by multiple momma cats. Some of the mommas died too. And now it's happening again. So my home is not the safest, even though we sanitized as best we could.
Since Tiny was/is the runt of his litter, he's probably the "weakest". I don't want to put him in danger.
Here it is, the kittens are listed alphabetically, scroll down and click on Leyia's pic to get to her page.Yes, we would love to see the link!
I know, I feel it too. But the rescue made it clear that she were to have a home with other cats, and she's so happy-go-lucky, she made friends with all my cats and Amé in record time.Those two pictures cause me to feel she will be heartbroken to leave her friend and your home.
