Hi team, my cats were rescued from my home when the building had a severe electrical fire (large unit complex). They were rescued by fire fighters and taken to the vets for oxygen rehabilitation. They only had somewhere between 16-24 hours of care from the Vet and were released the day after the accident. We cannot say how long they were affected by smoke and etc as for close to 10 hours we were stuck waiting to even get inside the room ourselves; The question: The cats have been recovering in a new home for the meanwhile and 2 of the 3 cats have been having a little cough which was thought to be a hairball but nothing has come up. There is also an AC unit in the room they are staying so this might be affecting their recovery? Should we be worried and seek out the vet again? Besides the coughing they have been behaving normally for their experience (stressed out but adapting to a new temporary home).

An empty kettle was left on the burner while gone, apartment was terribly smokey when fire department arrived but besides the gas burner I don’t know if there was an actual fire, cats were hunkered low and although initially terrified are now acting normal, fur smells smokey though and because of how thick it was I’m worried they may be affected, should I take them to the vet for just a checkup or also for testing? Or should I just keep an eye out for any changes in their health and behavior. One is a Persian (5yo, not extreme faced but more extreme than a typical doll face) and the other is a Himalayan/non standard Munchkin mix (1yo)

2 days ago room was filled with smoke due to candle. Cat threw up and woke up the adult in the room. The fire alarm went off. The cat is black and white normally and the white spots were grey. We have the cat a bath to get her cleaned. She seemed to be fine. Now 2 days later she is throwing up what looks like bile and is not eating. Is this something that will pass or should we take her into the vet ?

Hi I ha a small fire in my house and when we put it out the room filled with smoke and my cat was in a different room the whole time but his fur is all black and he's acting funny. But he's not coughing at all.

So some boiling oil caught on fire and we put it out after about 5 minutes, but the place has been very smoky since. It’s been about 4-5 hours since it happened. As soon as it happened they both got very frightened and ran into the furthest room from the kitchen. We shut the door and opened a window because we felt that was the best decision. Then as we walked outside, one cat was in the window sill meowing a lot, like never before. The smoke was very strong and it was hard to get them, and after 10 minutes we did, and put them in a far away room. We tried giving them food but would not eat or drink. About 5 minutes ago one of the cats finally came out from under the couch and started to cuddle/eat. She’s starting to explore now. The condition looks mild but their appetite still isn’t the best. No coughing, sneezing, vomiting, gaging. Just the slightest smell of smoke on them. What should we do other than going to see a vet?(considering the covid-19 circumstances).
