No idea how distemper was ruled out, I'm not a vet. She just seems sure that it's not.

I contacted all the local rescues and shelters and they were all overrun with kittens. The one person who said that they would take some decided that they didn't want black, tabby or female. That ruled them all out.

Right now I'm just hoping more survive. I buried two more today. The only survivor so far is doing great and you wouldn't have guessed that she was so sick. When the final tally is in, I'll re-evaluate my options.

There was a rescuer kind of interested in the survivor (before she got sick) and I'm wondering if she'll still take her after the ordeal. I haven't spoke to her recently because I know that her kitties are also going through a similar illness.
