I called the spca and they said keep the cats apart for a bit and they are giving us some medicine for the sneezing.

do you think the other cat is going to get sick??
I feel horrible...

I have a few sneezers in my house. They get allergy shots every month. Our vet said we could give them half a benadryl a day, but our little drama queens foam at the mouth when we try to give them pills. R has learned from our country vet how to give shots . With our brood of rescues, we keep medication on hand in case one gets sick.

With yours coming from a shelter, I'd be careful she doesn't have pneumonia. We've had to battle that here more than a few times. We keep a stethoscope on hand so we could listen to their lungs.
