I adoped my cat two weeks ago and she has been sneezing ever since I brought her home and she has a runny nose. Looking for answers.

How old is the cat?
Sometimes cats/kittens can show signs of stress when they go to a new home,
If your cat has other symptoms I would have him/her checked by a vet

In older cats they could have had cat flu and when under stress they can show signs of the flu virus every so often.

If a kitten or cat goes down with the herpes cats 'flu, then once they get over the initial bout of the disease, it can come back again whenever the cat has gone through a traumatic experience like re-homing or neutering. Kittens can get it as well as adults. It never leaves the cat's body but lies dormant until under stress. That is why it is best to get kittens vaccinated at 9 and 12 weeks of age. This will help protect them against the major killer cat flu viruses that they may meet. I say 'help' protect...... as in all vaccinations, there is always a verysmall percentage of cats that will not respond to vaccination......... like in humans. However, the vaccination covers the most dangerous strains of cat 'flu but cannot cover all strains so although your kitten or cat is vaccinated, is can, although rarely, catch a weaker strain of cat 'flu. Once again, it is similar to the human 'flu vaccinations. There are far too many types of 'flu out there. Wouldn't it be great if we could have a vaccination for all viruses.

She's four months old. She doesn't have any other symptoms. Thank you for your reply.

I've had kittens in the past that were sneezing and each time the vet told me "oh its cat flu" and it cleared up within a few days.

Thank you. That makes me feel better. I'm going to take her to vet if it doesn't clear up.

hope shes ok,,, do keep us posted,,

Yes it's more than likely cat flu! Should clear up soon.

I believe it has cleared up. I haven't seen her sneeze all day today. Thanks for the input.

could be an allergy?

does your cat have any discharge from the eyes?

mites are quite common in dried cat food, even the best products.

hope it clears up soon.
