I got a Kitten from a cat rescue group with the same symptoms, took her to the vet and then she died :(
I know, sad story, get her to the vet early.

Call the RSPCA to investigate and ask some pals to do the same as they have been known not to respond to individual calls... sorry folks, but this comes from personal experience. Get your kitten to the vets ASAP as it sounds like a respitory infection/cat flu and could well be fatal if untreated. Good luck.

This is very common when a bunch of cats get together. Unless the kitten has feline aids she should be fine in 2-3 days after leaving the others behind.

Phone the local RSPCA and check that she is a reputable "holding house". Sneezing in kittens is NOT a good sign.
Fingers crossed that all is ok :o)

The sensible thing to do would be to ring the RSPCA since they should be supervising the conditions that the cats & kittens are in and their vet will look at them

If I were you, I would contact the RSPCA and inform them. They can then go and check out the welfare of the cats. Sometimes, I think people can get carried away with pet keeping when they are not really able to cope.

the sneezing and weepy eyes sounds like snuffles - which is like a cold virus...similar to what humans get at this time of year. it is treatable with antibiotics from the vet and will clear up in no time being kept warm and dry.

I adopted 2 together and I noticed the next day both of them were sneezing and one had watery eyes. They had an upper respiratory infection, plus one had an ear infection. Had to give them several rounds of different antibiotics to get rid of it.

Hmmm thats really not good i would get her checked out by the vets you may have a lot of bills in the future if you get a poorly cat.

its winter this happens to sneeze is natural, don't worry about that yet, you might not need telling but worry about your home before it arrives cover any holes up and keep it in one room where it cant hide just until it gets used to you, i only warn u because i still cant find my kitten, iv held it once, good luck
