New CATalyst Council data show cat visits growing for a third straight year. The bigger question for practices may be how many new kittens are still coming in as they age.
Correct. If the owners implement good hygiene practices at home (e.g. frequent hand washing, especially after handling the animals, preparing their food, and cleaning up their waste; and using alcohol-based hand sanitizers) and disinfect the food bowls and feeding areas with a 1:10 bleach solution, there should be no concerns about spreading Salmonella species infection.
