My cats are indoor only, and I don't feed them any raw food, but I frequently foster cats that have come from outdoor situations. I always do a 2 week quarantine before allowing them to meet, but I'm getting very worried that I might still be putting my resident cats at risk of bird flu if I continue fostering, since things like URIs seem to spread despite the quarantine.
