The nursery is divided into three sections: neonates, where kittens 2 -
weeks old and
under are kept warm in cubbies with heating pads, bottle - fed, bathed, and loved until they're 5 -

quarantine, where older kittens who may have been exposed to a contagion in the wild are kept for 10 days to determine their health; and socialization, where groups of kittens ages 5 to 8
weeks are nourished on a diet of wet and dry food, sleep in «condos,» and romp all day in pens — playing, climbing, and practicing all manners of cuteness, preparing to melt the hearts of future adopters.
Nearly 50 cats infected with VS - FCV at the shelter were euthanized due to severe pain and suffering and risk to healthy cats, and all others are
