It's a good thing you do and I hope you don't stop...so the little furry ones at least can watch from above that someone has cared about them...
I too thank you and say don't stop doing this good deed for these poor little ones.

I have to say I'm not well versed in if a human can get any diseases from a dead cats body, but I think I see where you husband is concerned and that would be with the possibility of coming in contact with the cats blood. My advice is to keep a box of gloves (latex, vinyl etc) in the back of your car and use them when moving the cat. Then after you take off the glove wash your hands. I keep Purell in the car. I don't know if you have it over there but Purell is an waterless hand cleanser containing alcohol. It will kill 99% of germs on contact. --- Meg
