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

Hi Kelley,
I'm sorry to hear this. 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.
:)
