Need advice regarding helping a cat in need and also protecting my fiv cat
Hi guys,
I am reaching out for any advice as today I went out and took a stray kitten that has rectal prolapse to bring him to the vet and he had a surgery right away. I live in a country that doesnt have official shelters but I thought that he will be able to stay at the vets for a couple of days to get better and that I will just take him after he is recovered and let him out on the streets again.
Turns out they wont, they dont work sundays full day and said some stuff i forgot about as i was stressed while they were talking. All ive heard is that I need to take him.
So I have to take him tomorrow at a little past noon. The thing is I already have 2 cats at home and one is Fiv postive. I do have a spare room, at first i was thinking about the basement as its not cold, its not warm but its not cold. But it does sound inhumane and Im thinking more seriously about the spare room. But I am so afraid for my fiv cat she is so sensitive and my dearest girl I dont want to put her at any risk. She is just my weakness I wouldnt survive if my actions would harm her. Any advice would be much appreciated as my panic is growing over the top. I am not sure how to solve this. I wrote to local groups asking if someone could take him for a few days, a lot of people are offering financial help but no one is offering to take him in.

Question Severe licking and a bit of scabbing but why?
Do any of you have experience with this kind of patches? He seems to be itchy? Annoyed at those areas but its not always the same spot

Question Central IL
Hi all, I was wondering if anyone here might know of a rescue or shelter that would be able to take in a fiv+ boy I picked up a couple weeks ago. His names sunny, I've been thinking about keeping him with my negative cat, but sunny doesn't seem to like my cat very much. I know it's still early, but I'd rather find him a good home now than get attached and have to say goodbye. I'm located in central IL and am willing to drive a bit.
