Kim, it's not your fault. As the others said, the shelter personnel would've noticed it eventually. You couldn't have know what the outcome was going to be.

That is one of the reasons why I quit the Dearborn Animal Shelter. They were killing cats because they were too old, were "suspected" of having ringworm or needed the cage space. It made me sick!!

Almost every single cat that comes out of a shelter will come down with a URI. That's why they tell you to keep them isolated from your other cats for at least 2 weeks.

I honestly don't miss volunteering at the shelter. It's a very depressing atmosphere. I'd rather take in cats on my own and rehome them, like Mattie Grace and her babies.

(((((hugs)))))) to you Kim!
