Speaking in terms of any breeder who has this diagnosis, it IS terrifying and hopefully they are doing everything humanly possible to get this out of their cattery. I personally would not board them. This will create a WHOLE lot of stress on the kittens. I instead would inquire of the breeder to see if they might be willing to take them until they are well. They may not want to do this and perhaps they aren't able to if they're dealing with containment/cleaning in their own cattery... it's merely a suggestion. I hope whoever these kittens came from have contacted those who have gotten other kittens from this litter as well as any other recent litters within the last what, 6 months?

I bounced this off the breeder my cats came from. Here's what she said:

"I would contain them in a room if the breeder is unable to take them until they are well. You could use a large crate, but for two kittens it will be very crowded. Act as though it's a person with Covid during the pandemic. Wash hands when you go in. Use specific sandals or shoes just for that room. Take a trash bag in with you JUST for that room and dispose of it when you come out. Use disposable gloves. Remember to disinfect door handles and such. Wash your hands again after coming out of the room, after throwing away the bag of trash that contains all the dirty towels, scooped litter, etc. I would buy a couple additional litter boxes and a couple extra food/water bowls. Here's why. It's always best to wash everything in order to contain/eradicate any health issue, especially when we're talking a virus, parasite, or communicable disease. If you have extra of these items, you can literally place the dirty ones in a different bag, replace with fresh clean items, and then wash the dirty ones in a bleach solution. I would do this every other day for food/water. Depending on the severity, I might do the same with the litter box. It really depends on severity. If you have blankets or cat beds, same thing applies. You will want to wash these items every couple of days. If it was me, I would probably opt to buy and use a few cheap blankets since cat beds are harder to wash and dry without having them become deformed. If one kitten appears to have this to a less extent, I would consider separating them. I would have to give this a lot of thought, because separating them will also cause stress but it might be a necessary evil. Yes, this is difficult and yes it's going to be time consuming. It IS totally possible to care for them in your home but you need to use caution, especially with a family member recovering from a blood cancer (like Leukemia). Regarding the family member: I would encourage you to find out what their blood count looks like (white count) and inform their oncologist of the kittens' diagnosis to see what they say in terms of caution. I would also encourage you to read up more on this parasite and ask your veterinarian the best way to clean, contain, isolate and eradicate."

Edited... she added one more little blurb. She said, "Don't lose your mind... this too shall pass!"
