I had a litter of kittens a few years ago that contracted this awful virus...I don't want to relive this by any means, but all the kittens recovered (Emily Rose was in very bad shape) and no others were affected by the virus. I rescue countless street waifs every year, and my house (and every foster I know) were packed at the time. I posted the links I dug up under advanced search for the pics and details of the nightmare we all went through. I can't click on the links and go through the bad memories of it all, so I just posted them for you to peruse. I was vigilant about washing my body and removing my potentially contaminated clothes every time I handled the kittens. My skin was raw from bleaching, but it prevented viral transmission.
*Warning* many of the pictures posted are very graphic of Emily Rose, but had a happy ending. Whew!
