Allergic cat

[freckledimple]

She was fixed and vaccinated when she was younger. Her mother and sister both had allergies. She doesn't sneeze all the time, just when fronts come in.

She may have been vaccinated when she was younger, but how long ago was that? Vaccinations are only good for a specified amount of time, usually between 1-3 years depending on the vaccination. The paperwork will tell you when the next was due, so if it's passed that date, then the kitty is at risk.

I think it is great that you are taking care of the grandparents and thinking about their kitties too!

It sounds like these cats are more outdoor wild types than pets? Could you invest some time to befriend them and make them pets and indoor/outdoor cats? Then it would be easier to deal with updating their vaccines and getting the treatment they need. At this age, they are at the point where a vet check up is in order!

I think you may have to take Sandy to the vet. It might be allergies and something else might be wrong with her. The vet would give you the proper midication to help Sandy.
Good Luck!!

Yes, they are both wild. When my grandparents were able, any cat that stayed around long enough would get caught, fixed, and shots. I think they were up to thirteen at one time. Some would be pettable, but most were not. Sandy and Scooter are the last of "their" cats. All died of old age. My roommate and I have "our" cats inside. Long story.
I guess I'll have to live trap her to get her to thr vet. All attempts to befriend Sandy and Scooter have so far been unsuccessful. The only time we were able to get Sandy inside was when we were trying to catch a skunk. We caught an oppossum as well(it was released elsewhere). Thank you for all of your help.
