As far as shelter rescue work, 4 cats in such a short timeframe is not a normal rate of death.
It is exceesively high. Susan J.

I honestly don't know what to tell you. I have no idea what could be causing the deaths. Are you sure the deaths are related? I am wondering since you do shelter work if four cats out of ? (how many) is a normal rate of loss, given the circumstances (ie. shelter cats are more likely to be found when rescued with already compromised immune systems). I don't know much about shelter work, so others with experience will hopefully help you. Please keep us posted. :) Wendy --- Kelley Saveika <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > This is the toll so far from this year, not > including kittens. > > Joey - 10 - died in late April.
