My sick stray cat died. How to protect my other unvaccinated strays?

Question

Hi, I usually feed 4 stray cats. They are all 4 1/2 Months old and unfortunately none of them are vaccinated or dewormed since they are difficult to catch. However I going to manage that now. Suddenly one of them(male) was sitting outside in the rain, crying loud and couldn't walk much which led me to capture and take them to vet. Doctor gave an injection in the stomach and after sometime it died. what might have caused this and How can I protect the other cats? Vaccination/deworming - yes

I'm sorry that cat died! How terrible for you! Without seeing the cat in person, I can't say for certain what caused him to die, but he could have been injured or attacked leading to his symptoms. To protect the cats, yes you want to vaccinated and deworm them. Regular vet visit is recommended, and letting them stay indoors at night would also help protect them. I'd also recommend getting them spayed and neutered. I hope this helps!
