Baby Outdoor Play
Questions about adopting a cat and toxoplasmosis?
Ok, first of all, I am 7 weeks pregnant. Me and my husband were planning on adopting two adult cats from a family that moves out of state and can not take cats with them tomorrow. They are both indoor cats, front declawed. I told him before we said yes to take the cats that I would not be able to change the tray litter at all because of my pregnancy, and it was fine with that:. Well, I did a little research on toxoplasmosis and I Was this • Do not get a new kitten or cat while you are pregnant and do not play with stray cats and kittens. Now what will I do? We were really excited to bring these kittens to the house tomorrow, but I have to say no if she will put our baby in danger … Most other sites say "Do not bring a new cat in your house that has been an outdoor cat or has been fed raw meat" … but I'm still worried. What would you do?
I researched this A LOT a few months back because my husband wanted to get a couple kittens to our children for Christmas. All what I found said that cats are great for women pregnanyt be around, just do not clean their litter. The parasite can not live on their fur, in their intestines and excrament. Also, once a cat has been inside for 30 days there is little chance it can carry these parasites the cat's immune system kills them. If you are still worried about it, take the cat to the vet, they can draw a little blood and test it to see if the cats have the parasite. I hope I helped … I have book marked some of this info ….
