Saving Panleukopenia Kittens (Recovery, Disinfection & Fostering After!)

[@captainsnapdragon]

I went through this last year, and I had no idea what to do. My shelter's protocol was euthanasia... so I claimed the kittens, basically adopted, all 7 of them so I could treat them. My team (my roommates and friends) and I did our very best, and we got 5 out of 7 through it. The boys we lost... we all miss them so much, they would have been great pets. It was a lot of crying and sleepless nights as we syringe fed them all, gave fluids and meds etc. Going through this changed my shelter's policy and they are working on implementing treatment for panleuk kittens now. I still have two of the kids one year later and they are absolutely beautiful and lovely cats.

[@elizabethfield5458]

Bless you! ❤❤❤

[@remyw1409]

Thanks for saving those kitties, you're so amazing for doing that. The fact that the shelter has changed it's policy does not bring those poor boys back, but you have made sure that they (and all future panleuk kitties) had a fighting chance and I don't doubt that you put all you could into them. I'm so sorry for your loss x

[@slangoognals]

That's an incredible change that you made happen. I hope you feel proud. Rest in peace to the boys who didn't make it.

[@ashextraordinaire]

Thank you so much for saving those 5 precious lives!

[@socpancake]

you’re a hero! thank you and your housemate for the incredible life-saving effort you made!

[@UnderADarkRock]

The "if you've lost kittens to panleukopenia, forgive yourself." immediately made me sob. We lost so many babies, but the one that hurts most was our foster fail.

[@janinebean4276]

I’m so sorry you went through that 😢 thank you for your amazing work saving so many babies!

[@TrueBeelzebub]

It wasn’t a fail if you gave that kitten the best care you could, if you nurtured and cared for it the best you could. Sometimes kittens just don’t make it even if you move mountains for them and that’s the sad reality. You have no reason to be mad at yourself, I can tell you really cared ❤

[@slc1161]

Retired critical care nurse here. Getting ready to use my skills for infant kittens from rescues in my community. Currently prepping my spare bedroom into a ICU with all the equipment and I am able to isolate this way. Ripping up carpet and getting rid of soft nonwashable surfaces. Been reading your book for instruction. Your explanation here was very good, very detailed, yet easy to understand. And will be spending some time at an animal hospital to learn the skills of sq fluids and tube feeding. I’m great with people so using those skills and moving forward with fostering. I fostered dogs for years but had my back broken last year by two rambunctious pups. Still having treatment and will behaving what I hope is my last surgery soon. So perfect time to shift to easier animals physically. I love your glo germ demo! I used to do this to new nurses to show how poorly most people wash their hands. I’ll e doing scrubs and keep a supply of disposable isolation gowns and equipment. I already have disinfection protocols from years of bringing home patient germs. I disinfected my phone daily, after every shift. And I even have a full bathroom I can dedicate to my future foster babies. Turning it into one phase of quarantine. And I did infectious disease nursing my last ten years. I wanted away to keep using my skills. I love your explanation of isolation. I would also make a suggestion if they don’t have disposable booties. Keep a large bin that they can step into easily. Put your disinfection solution in the bin, about 1inch. Step in with footwear on. Using the solution and cloth, wipe down your shoes, then step onto disposable pad to blot off shoes.

[@nataliegraham9552]

Yay for your shelter having a unicorn foster joining their brigade! You will be such an asset for them. I used to foster and my unicorn status was that I had no other pets, so I could take medical recovery cases or FIV+ cats with no risk to them from my existing environment. Plus I worked from home so I was able to monitor/feed/medicate when needed. Almost all my shelter's fosters had at least a few animals of their own. Thanks so very much for all your hard work prepping to be a crucial link in the rescue chain for the animals that will come into your care! 🎉❤

[@remyw1409]

Around 5:00, the kitty began playing with her hair 😂. And then just decided to climb up her. I had to rewind to hear what she said there because I was distracted 😅

[@adarcus4053]

I was doing a early childhood practicum in a community setting. The actual on staff teachers made so much fun of me for practicing good bio security when it came to diaper changes. I insisted on washing my hands in between kids and wearing fresh gloves each time. They treated me like a little hypochondriac. Guess who was the only one between 10 children and 3 adults that did not get hand foot mouth? I needed no better object lesson in why hygiene practices matter.

[@emilythechef]

Good for you and those babies (and their parents) you were caring for! I hope they refer to your successful object lesson and take better care of the kids they're responsible for.

[@pesa9518]

All hospitals should do this good a job with the rooms and equipment between patients. Wed have far fewer hospital-acquired infections.

[@emovampification]

I have a 2 week old baby that I took in because my neighbors couldn’t take care of him and his mom had stopped feeding him. Your videos have helped me so much, I can’t even begin to tell you how grateful I am that you are sharing your knowledge so that I can keep this little guy alive.

[@annlidslot8212]

Hi, what a good thing you do, to step up like that. Good luck with the baby, I'm sure he will thrive with you. Yours, Ann

[@Wally535]

Like all of Hannah’s advice, this is good practice even if your not fostering. If you are a multiple cat home and one gets sick, you want to protect everyone. Plus, just like when humans have a cold or flu (or Covid!) clean sheets, towels, etc help prevent reinfection. So grateful for the suggestion on disinfectant, I’m not a fan of most on the market. Additionally, the tip about contact time. Wonder how many times I’ve wiped or washed an area in the kitchen and immediately rinsed and dried it. Practically every time! Thank you Hannah!

[@janiceracey3870]

Thank you so much for this vid!. Wish i had it a few months earlier when i was going threw it LOVE THIS!!!! Yess!! forgive yourself is BIG cause you feel guilty and all of that!! Lost 3 of the 6.. It is my first year fostering i had 0 idea. The vets around here dont treat it. Had a woman who does rescuse who got all the drugs showed me what to do and went from there!! Bless her cause today momma and her 3 babies who lived are all save healthy and in thier FUUURever homes!!!!

[@bekahjoy6600]

The only reason why I'm so good at quarantine and sanitization is because I am extremely allergic to poison ivy- which spreads through oil contact and I lived out in the country as a kid; if I wasn't good at retracing and cleaning I would have been in the hospital all the time. It might have caused rather detrimental OCD as an adult- but it has it's benefits sometimes.

[@nataliegraham9552]

Ohmy, what a reason to get good at sanitation protocols! I'm sorry you've had such traumatic experiences with that allergy. I react to poison ivy/oak but in the usual way, so no having to head to the doc/emergency room. Dealing with a couple weeks of a typical reaction is bad enough! 😬

[@chrisakers759]

Omgosh this was us last year! Kitten was fine for about 2 weeks n then got lethargic. Vet said the mother we adopted kitten from, had it n passed it to the babies. After shots n TLC he is a healthy and happy kitty! 💙

[@emilythechef]

So a 2 week incubation period? Ugh, that scares me so much. In our rescue, we see more of a 24 - 48 hr incubation period, but I have heard it can take 14 days.

[@KatharineMongrain]

My new kitten (rescued from the shelter) got sooooo sick after i brought him home. Meat baby food was a life saver for him. He wouldn't eat anything for 2 days.

[@ms.bonilla8059]

Those kitties are beautiful, especially that mischiveous calico ❤

[@valeriespatorico4346]

❤ I fostered a litter of 5 that came down with distemper. I was able to keep them all alive through intense supportive care. I sulmatanously fostered neonatal kittens in another room in my home. There is no reason to halt fostering because of a parvo outbreak.

[@katwitanruna]

Just lots and lots of disinfectant!!

[@KayXoXo4]

You are the reason I took the leap and started fostering almost 5 years ago. My first 2 kittens I was a foster fail 😂 they are my babies. Those was the only 2 I was a foster fail on. I knew if I kept that up I'd never be able to foster again and I really enjoy fostering so much so I couldn't keep more and give fostering up. You're videos have helped me through my foster journey. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge with us❤

[@berglettemom6045]

Good job, Hannah. I know this video was a lot of work for you to make. I’m sure it will help lots of people.

[@johndavis29209]

Thank you so much for posting your videos. You saved my little man's life! God only knows how many small one's you've saved. Thank you.

[@Staceyintampa]

I wish i would have had this info 10 years ago when i had my first set of pan kittens. They were immediately taken from me and euthanized, while i sat in the waiting room unaware. There is so much more info now, treatment, and hope. Thank you for all you do.

[@susancook1448]

Thank you for showing this! I fostered four kittens through ringworm and it was so stressful that I stopped fostering. But they all survived and my other cats didn’t get it. But it was so scary. I think the separate kitten room is key. And throw away litter boxes. Using card board boxes and bags for play is great- our grown cats love them. Every time we come home from Sam’s they practically fight over who gets in the new box. I think you could make your own disposable litter boxes for kittens pretty easily too unsteady if buying them. What kind of litter do you use?

[@lauraeaton5414]

I volunteer at a cat shelter and learning about panluk is a good thing for me to learn.

[@Silk17373]

With the amount of desieses this woman has covered im set for when i start fostering in 2 or 3 yrs :3

[@Haste_Waste]

This video shows why hygienic design is important! I work in food processing , but this applies to many infectious diseases like panleuk. Removing nooks and crannies in equipment helps prevent the spread of disease by removing harbourage points. Excellent video!

[@Resie78]

We gave ours KMR. It was easiest to get into them, and it stayed in better than solids. We fed them smaller amounts every 3 hours or so. Subcutaneous fluids were also essential, and of course quarantine/cleaning. It was hell for about 2 weeks, but out of the 7 foster kittens we had, 6 survived, one of which never even got sick. I think there was some luck involved, because we really didn't know what we were doing, but did have some knowledge about viruses in general and based our actions on that.

[@leaftye]

All that cleaning and disinfecting makes me nostalgic for linoleum.

[@emilythechef]

My 20x20 foster room + bathroom has sheet vinyl, with one seam. The installers understood the assignment when I said I wanted as few places for deadly cat diseases to hide as possible. I used to have carpet in the room. OMG, I can't imagine how disgusting it was.

[@StonedtotheBones13]

I was looking at the tiles like "textured tiles might not be the best for that"

[@procyonpaw]

Amazing video! It's always been a dream to be able to foster animals. Unfortunately, with my current financial situation, responsibilities and limited space, as well as my current pets having problems, I cannot foster. I hope one day in the future I will be able to, and videos like this I can imagine will be really helpful.

[@Stirchley1951]

FYI, usually the shelter you foster from provides all the stuff you will need to foster at home. They are glad to get fosters into a home.

FANTASTIC video Hannah! So helpful and thorough. You're a true asset to the kitten community ❤

[@JohnnyByeYm]

Very glad to hear they all survived and congratulations. Statistic survival rate with treatment is generally assumed to be around 50% only, so you intervention was obviously very fast and aggressive. I am sure that was some work and stress. Have a big 👍 And a hint for cost saving: In some countries / areas household bleach is available as 5% solution (often mixed with soap which is ok, make sure it is real bleach aka hypochlorite solution, milder alternatives don't cut it! If it does not smell chlorine like, it is not bleach!). Usually very cheap and is does disinfect surfaces and even help remove feces. Will destroy dyed texitiles though (as your peroxide based desinfectant as well).

[@marlieskoster]

Ohnooo they all got Pan. That is so scary! I still remember the work and luck you got with Hank. Thanl you for helping these nuggets, and I'm so happy they all got through❤

I wish I could do more Iv been caring for 2 dozen strays - city won’t help no one has openings - it’s rough - I do my best

[@remyw1409]

You care for TWO DOZEN STRAYS, that's so incredible! While yes, there will always be more cats that you can't help, you are making sure that the ones you can care for, you give them the best care you can. Be easy on yourself, you're doing incredible things x

[@violetsnotroses3640]

You're doing your community cats a great service, well done! Have you possibly looked into Trap/Neuter/Return (TNR) efforts in your area? If there isn't shelter space for them, there might be options to keep your two dozen from becoming four dozen!

[@wendymahr5174]

Thank you for the information packed in-depth video with ginger kittens Peony and Carnation. They were ready on June 2, 2023 and returned to a shelter on 6/3 and adopted that day. I’m overjoyed that you included their enclosure. The textured waterproof fabric protecting the floor is long gone after a close call. 100%% agree about throwaways. This was my beginner's option with repurposed materials. I use a plastic liner because my floor is newer.

[@scallihan12]

I have vinyl plank flooring in my foster room, and cover the foster area with an Everbilt paper/poly drop cloth taped around the edges with painters tape. It comes in a couple of sizes and is easily cut to whatever size you need. Easily spot cleaned, or cut out a soiled area and tape in a patch. It's easy to dispose of.

[@pagealanda]

thank you so VERY much for this!!! I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS INFO

[@altawarren7334]

I might recommend that you get some old fashion linoleum pieces to go under the quarantine areas. Your tile has the nooks and crannies making it harder to clean than a flat surface. If you get it at discount outlets you could toss it after several uses. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@vthib]

A tip might be putting a label on the discarded items in the trash saying this item has been contaminated - in case dumpster divers trying to save a "still good" item with good intentions accidentally take it home and infect their vulnerable animals.

[@Georgia-zt7ss]

Great idea!!! My sister is probably the world champ Dumpster diver and also has a mobility support service dog. I'm sending your tip to her as a way to help protect Harry Edwardson III, her third golden retriever helper.

Used to watch this like 6 years ago when I had a cat obsession still love cats to this day thank you ❤

[@kathiefoss2254]

I volunteer for a very large cat/kitten rescue. They purchased the tiny 2 bedroom house that was on the lot next door and turned it into a building just for panleuk, with a trained, dedicated team who work in shifts following a strict medical protocol. Any cat or kitten who is found sick on intake is tested and immediately transferred to this facility as well as any exposed animal. If any foster kitten comes down with panleuk, the animal and its littermates are transferred.I sometimes take a shift and it is very demanding and exhaustive. However, our success rate is very high and that is the rewarding part. As a foster, I follow these sanitizing steps between every litter. I also soak all linens in Rescue. My hallway is carpeted, so that gets sprayed with Rescue, let contact and then use carpet cleaner. Rescue can be used in carpet cleaners, but I am never comfortable with how evenly it is distributed, so I spray, leave to contact, and rinse up.

[@mysticfox9718]

This is very important and useful information for anyone who is fostering kittens. Thank you Hannah aka Kitten Lady!

[@schelletick]

For anyone in Australia, who can't easily access Rescue disinfectant, the best alternative is F10 Vet disinfectant. I drown my kitty zones in it (obviously not the kitties), and I also use the F10 fogger, which comes in a fogging spray can to get to any tiny places, like under cabinets, just in case. I mostly foster ringworm kittens, (over 500 so far) but we are currently going through a Panluek outbreak so I am overly cautious and really appreciate this video from the Kitten Lady.

My mom is a very careful and clean individual who has rubbed off on me. When the pandemic hit and my sister got Covid for the first time, she was placed in her room and my mom basically did a frantic deep clean of the entire house. Their are places I’m pretty sure my sister has never touched (especially not in the time that she’d contrasted the virus) that my mom deep cleaned because she is nothing if not a thorough woman. So if I ever get the chance to foster when I move out I think I’ll do great due to growing up with a very careful and clean mom 😂

[@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley]

Another amazing video! Should a legal issue I'm dealing with shake out, that'll free up my finances more and I'd like to then adopt a cat. While I'm looking for one that is at least a year and a half or two years old, I know very little about the diseases cats can get as I've had dogs most of my life. Finding out about a new disease AND how to treat it and the after-care is super helpful! Who knew the adorable little surprise kitten for your husband would have another surprise with it 😅. But I'm really glad to see that everyone made it through okay 🥰.

[@ladyteruki]

I would be very interested in a video about what to do and how in the hours and days following a forever adoption, that would include information about whether to quarantine (and if so for how long), what protocols to put in place, what to monitor, etc. Best practices when it comes to health while accompanying the transition. I don't know whether we can ask Hannah @KittenLady for this, but that would be very useful to a lot of people, I bet. I haven't had a kitten in 20+ years and plan on adopting again soon, and I'd love some recent information around that theme. Especially when adopting from a foster who has several cats at various stages of health and vaccination, I have lots of questions !

[@emilythechef]

Adult, properly vaccinated cats (see your vet) are well protected against the common cat viruses we worry about with kittens, including Panleukopenia. But If you and your houseguests don't wear shoes in the house, that can help a lot with keeping diseases out of your home.

[@kjtherrick4031]

Good job, as usual, on taking care of those kittens! Thank you, for all the information on panleukopenia and how to handle it.

[@aesaphyr]

This is why I quarantine incoming feral kittens/cats - not just panleuk but a while host of other dangerous infections. I'm lucky to be aware of how to prevent infection spread because of my background as a paediatric doctor. I've had people who foster cats laugh at me for it. One person told me she's not afraid of cats (misunderstood me taking precautions as me being scared of cats??). Thank you for the hard work you do taking care of sick kittens, and thank you for this video.

[@emilythechef]

I'm with you - can't be too safe! What kind of setup to you keep your kittens in before feeling confident they've been quarantined long enough?

[@aesaphyr]

@@emilythechef Spare room with only washable things inside it. Change clothes and shoes/slippers when coming out of it, wash hands every time I've handled something in the room and need to touch something not "contaminated" (e.g. kitten food outside the room or a bottle of water or my face). Because that can mean a lot of handwashing, I wear gloves and wash over the gloves simply because my skin gets too dry otherwise. As a minimum I would do this until the kittens have had 2 deworming doses (14 days apart) and I'm reasonably confident they don't have something nasty that's extremely contagious e.g. giardia, FIP, FCP or FeLV.

Thank you Hannah! Just what we need to hear. Maybe next, you can do a video of your treatment protocol. But I do have a question. Can a pregnant feral cat have kittens who are exposed to the virus before their birth?

Many cats with CH (Cerebellar hypoplasia) were thought to have the affliction because their mother had Panleukopenia while she was pregnant.

[@DT-vc5pd]

Thank you for this. Question: When you got the kittens you were in there with them without protection. Does it mean that the virus only starts shedding once the kittens start having symptoms? I had one that didn’t show the traditional signs (only losing weight) and when he got snapped he tested positive so how would i know if he was already shedding (and therefore i was spreading the virus all over the house?) They were quarantined but I was touching them without gloves and wasn’t gowned up and was putting things down outside the pen because everyone was healthy)

[@remyw1409]

I think the way a lot of people do it is by taking reasonable precautions while the kitties are in quarantine, because at the end of the day, all the kitties may come out of quarantine fine! I'm pretty sure I've seen Hannah in disposable shoe scrubs and proper hand washing while the cats are quarantined. Just generally, if you want to fully gown up for the full time, sure! There's nothing wrong with that! But just generally, if you're washing your hands, using separate shoes for the kitty area and wearing gloves and properly washing your hands, that's reasonable (think about how in hospitals, triage nurses don't wear full biohazard suits all of the time because they may come in contact with ebola, they're maintaining their hygiene and probably immediately changing out of their scrubs when they get home/before they leave so they don't spread anything that way.) But also remember you can ask you local vet/shelter what they do for animals' quarantine periods and I'm sure they would happily share some tips and tricks. Good luck and good job caring for those kitties! BTW: this has been about quarantine BEFORE you know if they have panleuk

Fyi! If you're looking for supplies to deep clean after panleuk or any other disease, you can contact your local sanitary supply store (such as Waxie if you're in the Western US) and ask them for recommendations on disinfectants. They will often have all the tools you need as well. Even if you don't buy from them, you can get an idea of what products are available in your area.

I don't think you can truly disinfect carpet. :/ If you feel like you've got all supplies and the rest of your apartment surfaces disinfected, maybe you can get a piece of sheet vinyl to lay over the carpet, and some of those panels/enclosures that Hanna has, and keep kittens in there. Wear shoe covers or special shoes before you step into that space.

Through poop and everything that exits the kitten. Sometimes even just close proximity. Vaccinations are available tho

What is that amazing enclosure you are using in your foster room? I'm done with the cheap snap or wire based systems.

Should you treat FeLV the same? I lost my FeLV kitten last year Nov and getting 2 new calico kitties next Saturday

HELP I have a orphan premature kitten. It was born Sunday November 3rd 2024. I've been doing everything that you do. I have the same kind of bottles as you PetAg 2oz but the nipple is different. What kind of nipple do you use and where did you get it. I've been having trouble with the nipple that came with the bottles. The kitten was 57 grams and very cold when it was rescued. The kitten is now 85 grams. I keep it's sleeping area between 85 to 90 degrees. It is in box right beside the head of my bed. 1st day I was feeding every hour, now I'm feeding every 2 hours. I have a syringe with nipple ordered, supposed to be delivered tomorrow but I really would like to get the same nipple that you use with your PetAg bottle, I believe it would be easier and more convenient for me and the kitten. Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I found a kitten under a car and took it home. I have already a cat so i put her in a kitty pen in my office (ive fostered before so i was lucky to have the pen) I've been following your instructions the best i can but then the vet told me I have to quarantine the kitten two months, instead of two weeks. I dont know how Im going to do it, i feel bad leaving the kitten alone in a room for so long

[@annlidslot8212]

Hi, I have no answer for your situation unfortunately. Have the vet explained why you need to do this. If not maybe you can talk to a different vet, or your shelter, if there is one, to get advice on how to take the best care you can of the little one. Luck! Yours, Ann

my panleuk kids broke out of quarantine!

[@annlidslot8212]

Hi, That was industrious of them. I hope they all made it out okay. Yours, Ann

How can I clean toys or anything that’s got fabric that cannot be thrown into a washer? Can I dilute bleach 1:32 spray it on it and leave it and then be okay around it once it dries? Mine are getting over it and I need to clean their environment (I’m not a fosterer, I just found kittens and brought them in , didn’t quarantine so they’ve been EVERYWHERE)

[@carolinex2390]

No I don't think you can leave bleach on surfaces.. not safe. I believe you need to only use things that can be thrown in the washer or surface wiped

[@JohnnyByeYm]

Well you can put dilute bleach on fabric. The problem is just that anything that is not plain white will get massively discoloured and anything that is not relatively sturdy may even get brittle and / or eaten away. Remember you need to soak this type of surface completely and for a prolonged time. The type of fabric that withstands bleaching is likely the type you can also wash 90°C. That being said you might use blankets that are 90°C washable in such a case for reuse. Just do nit forget to wash it truly at that temperature. It may be questinalble if that effort is worth it. In doubt discard.

What about putting things in the freezer for 2-3 days? We just had panleukopenia a month ago... we lost 7 of our 11 kittens... Do you use a fogger with a cleaning product as well?

[@fi0nagd]

All of this information applies to ringworm too. I had a few litters with it 🤦🏼‍♀️

I'm on Primary School in first grade

[@foreveraudio]

I’m on 9th dose of every 2 weeks on one kitten I raised I took in using the oral pro pyrantel at what dose do I stop - TCAP told me today you can do it forever ?

[@ReaHinds]

hi! this doesn't relate to the video, but would you have to check up on the kittens and mother every 2 hours, or no since there is a mother?

[@jjbee11]

You should still be checking up on a mom and kittens multiple times a day, and weighing the kittens to make sure mom is producing enough milk

[@VitoPetrus]

Hi Hannah What can I give my cat who is about three weeks old if his eyes have conjunctivitis?

[@jjbee11]

Please bring them to the vet ❤

[@juliehubbard9752]

Does anyone know where I can buy the SAME Perspex pens that KL has in her nursery? I’ve looked on amazon without any luck. ❤️

After you have "tossed" the items you cannot properly disinfect. Where do you get the bins too, to empty those. As those bins now contain potentially this virus?

[@jjbee11]

Bins can be disinfected, no need to get new ones

[@sabrinabrede7505]

If a kitten has feline leukemia and are tested for Panleukopenia can it come back as a false positive?
