This is ridiculous. One box of Clavamox, enough to treat four kittens
for seven days, costs around $5.00. The only upper respiratory
infection that can last a life time and cause cats to be longterm
carriers is herpes and even this is manageable.
I can't believe any SPCA that is so cavalier about euthanizing treatable
animals can find anyone willing to foster.
