series of five tests is necessary. She also said that using the same litter scoops for all
litter boxes could cross contaminate and reinfect. Sharon will look into methods of
avoiding transferring parasites from box to box, and de- worming cats on entry to the
shelter.

ACO Report
House Fire Cats —
Jeff stated that Roberta needs approximately one to two more months before the house will be
ready to have the cats returned.
Because Roberta has to be at work at 4:00 a.m., she has difficulty medicating her cats in the
morning. According to Jeff, she would be grateful for volunteer help. Lori again offered to help
with medicating once the cats go home.
