A few years ago my son bought a purebred Maine Coon kitten from a local cattery. She is a wonderful cat and has never been sick. I have decided to get one too from the same cattery. At 12 weeks, the kittens were ready to go to their new homes. There are 4 to choose from. But, 10 days ago the female either got a cold or had a reaction to a 4 in 1 vaccine. Five days ago a male kitten got a cold. So far the last two kittens are OK. But they will probably be sick next week.
My question, am I buying a problem getting a kitten that once had a cold? I read that some cats will keep the virus in their system for life and may have outbreaks several times a year. And I heard that they can be carriers and may give the virus to my sonâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s cat if they ever meet. Anyone have any thoughts?
