Quarantine (2008) IMDB rating: 6.20 Plot: Television reporter Angela Vidal (Carpenter) and her cameraman (Harris) are assigned to spend the night shift with a Los Angeles Fire Station. After a routine 911 call takes them to a small apartment building, they find police officers already on the scene in response to blood curdling screams coming from one of the apartment units. They soon learn that a woman living in the building has been infected by something unknown. After a few of the residents are viciously attacked, they try to escape with the news crew in tow, only to find that the CDC has quarantined the building. Phones, internet, televisions and cell phone access have been cut-off, and officials are not relaying information to those locked inside. When the quarantine is finally lifted, the only evidence of what took place is the news crew’s videotape.

An unvaccinated stray w/out respiratory disease, is there any danger being in the same room as my other cat?
This little (….more like 10 LB 1 year old !) is a little beat up and on antibiotics but unfortunately wasn’t given a distemper shot at neutering today. However, he doesn’t appear to be symptomatic of an upper respiratory disorder (have watery or sticky discharge from the nose and eyes, nose and mouth sores, inflamed eyes, fever, etc.).

So I have decided to let him stay a member of the household, at least for the near term, and will schedule a full clinical soon. But in the meantime, in spite of trying to keep him quarantined from the other cats…there have already been a couple of escapes. Is there any hazard without sneezing or other the exchange of other air borne particles ?

Right now he’s a stray male cat I brought in from the cold and seems a little droopy but content enough to be hanging out in my room around the litter box…
He is negative for FIV/FeLV. So far no worms test but good appetite, weight and no abnormal anal behavior.

Before he is up to date on his shots and has had a full clinical, try to keep him as best as possible isolated from the other cats. He could have other diseases besides just an upper respiratory infection.. i.e. worms, feline leukemia, etc.

i’m sure your dog and cats should be alright together, as far as i no i don’t think dogs can pass on any disease to cats and the same vise versa

I wouldn’t let him around your cat until he’s been tested for feline AIDS and FelV (the feline leukemia virus).

They’re both highly contagious and common. There something called a combo test, its tests for AIDS, FelV and Heartworms. It only take 3 drops of blood and can be done on an outpatient basis.

I can’t say that it’s 100% safe but I’d let him be in the house with mine. As a matter of fact, I’ve done the same thing. The new guy has been to the vet and looks healthy enough I wouldn’t worry much. I usually just watch closely for fights because new and old residents tend to test each other in those first days.

I have cats with upper respiratory infections they are very contagious. Put him someplace like a bathroom so he gets "visited’ fairly often during the times you’re home. You can clean and disinfect this area more easily. There’s the risk of other diseases it’s best he not be allowed to fraternize. Most vets suggest at least a two weeks isolation period a month is better. The other thing is that if he does become a permanent resident your cats will like him better and vice versa if you make the introduction very gradual.

IMO until he has all shots, been neutered and tested for FELV, then he should be confined to a room where he has no other contact with your pets. If you have to put him in a cage or kennel. But I would NOT let him around other cats.
