FIP will only be spread through blood transfer or sexual contact, so you have a chance there (not like feluk)! We use plastic or stainless steel litterpans if we don't have the disposable cardboard ones on hand.. I guess they're on backorder.. We have one old woman who does our dishes through...
The kitties use the stainless fine. I've gotten everyone in quarantine updated with all shots and worming, I need to do our intake room tomorrow. It should have been done ages ago. But nobody died today, even my cats on fluids. There's hope!
I tried telling my director about the vaccine thing, I know it, and he won't listen to me. It's so hard when they come into a shelter with no previous experience. Everything should be vaccinated the day after it's evaluated and BEFORE it's moved, but he's silly. *sigh* My cats on fluids are...

I'm a cattery manager in an animal shelter, and we're having a HUGE problem with FP. (feline distemper). I'm bleaching and scrubbing and washing my hands and giving supportive care (force feeding, sub Q fluids, and antibiotics.) Any other tips I can use? It is virulent and it seems I cannot win...
