We want to thank this reader for sharing with us her experience and what she did while fostering her sporo cat. Very often we think it's almost impossible to do it if we have other cats living with us, but here's what she did (below). This sharing is really, really priceless. Thank you so much!
Here it is:
I truly understand Norshidah predicaments after reviewing your earlier blog on Burt's. It is too much for her elderly mother to handle. I hope she will be able to get a fosterer or foster Burt herself. Now it is up to the Universe to decide. You are right let's the universe do its work without us trying to interfere. At the time when I was nursing my sporo cat to health we have another at least another 20 cats in our home. What I did with the guidance of my vet and some modifications of my own I manage quite easily by :- (1) Cover and taped up the whole cage with newspapers (which can be disposed whenever soiled, as frequently as possible); Any bodily fluid will be contained by spilling onto the newspapers i.e. blood, pus,saliva, drool etc. (2) Separate him in a room by himself; don't have room any space available away from other animals and people. (3) Lined the bottom cage with adult diaper by spreading it flatly on the bottom.Yes strange but it works (Adult diapers are heavy duty and more hardy than any other diapers) My cat used the diaper as his toilet or sleep on it when it is clean. His pee was absorbed into the diaper. He stays dry. Since he was such a clever fella, whenever he pooed; he will wrapped it up with his poo in it into a bundle. All I have to do is just wrapped up with old newspapers and secure it with tape and dispose in the garbage bag. No transmission of virus. Easy to clean and disinfect the cage. Hope this info will give Norshidah a wider option. Thank you Dr Chan for being who you are. Regards
