I ended up picking the kittens back up, and thankfully they have been doing a lot better so far. I was told that they aren't contagious because they tested negative. I read that isn't how it works, but I decided to go ahead and finish fostering them anyways and just take as many precautions as...

The rescue is contacting me again today saying the kittens all tested negative and are fully recovered and that I can come to pick them up. I may do it and tell the rescue I have to take them back if they get sick again. I'll just have to do it as safely as possible. My cat's vet told me today...

Thank you, I got a strange feeling about those things too. I was never given the option to have the kittens removed from my home after they tested positive. The whole time I got the feeling that they were determined to keep the kittens in my home no matter what. Since I'm still pretty new to...

I'm so sorry you had that experience. When you spend every day for so long fighting to avoid a loss that happens anyway, it's very traumatic. I think everyone processes these things differently. My boyfriend is processing by avoiding anything similar to what we went through. He would rather us...

Thank you everyone for your responses and support. It's a lot to respond to, so I'll try to answer everyone here. Yes, it is feline parvovirus/panleukopenia/distemper. Now that I have talked to the other volunteers and fosters, it seems like most kittens from this rescue have/had this virus...

My baby was "perfectly healthy" as well. Now we try not to think about how much money we put towards trying to save her this year, but it was a good chunk of our savings. I actually tried to get healthy, older (8-week) fosters but they ended up having panleukopenia. I had gone into it thinking...

Sorry I didn't reply sooner, the past week has been a whirlwind.. A rescue got back to me and gave me 3 "healthy" 8-week-old kittens. I thought I was getting an easy case and a nice break to process my loss and relax a bit while helping kittens...it turns out they had panleukopenia, as did many...

Hi, I recently fostered five 7-week-old kittens and now that I'm on break from school I wanted to open up my foster availability to include bottle babies. The rescue hasn't contacted me about fostering more kittens, so I thought maybe they don't have a need for the ages I selected before. I've...
