My cat has been gone for a about a month. Today I found her. She is way skinnier then when she left and a lot more skiddish. I want to bring her back into the house, but the problem is I have two other cats and I worry that she might have picked up a disease that can spread. We have her in staying in the garage right now and she has food, water, litter, and a bed, but she keeps crying and it's obvious she wants to come in. What should I look out for? How long should I keep her in "quarantine" till I know its safe for her to be around my other cats.
BTW I know the best thing to do is to take her to a vet, but I'm not currently working and I don't think I can convince my parents to pay for a vet. So advice that isn't just "take her to the vet" is most appreciated.
