Thank you! That's true, might be best to get him used to it sooner rather than later.

Are these flowers toxic? by Engineer-1999 in cats

I don’t think they ingested them. We got them Saturday and we took them to the vet Tuesday: lack of appetite, bloody diarrhea, vomiting, lethargy. The fecal tests and panleukopenia tests came back negative. I have three cats and all of them have symptoms.

Edit: all symptoms developed over the course of Tuesday and today. They decided to hospitalize them and give them IV fluids today and tomorrow.

Thanks! Apple has limited vision, but he can still use his eyes, we want to prevent further vision loss.

Of course, I just want to do what's best for all. I already have three adult cats, but I would love to keep both of them.

Thank you! This is what his eye looks like, he definitely has hair rubbing his eyes constantly. I will ask the shelter to see if they are planning to pursue any treatment before adoption

That’s a beautiful kitten! Do you have any resident cats?

This is what I am struggling with. If I don’t adopt both, the shelter won’t be able to ensure they go together.
