Family of Cats Left Outside Shelter

Early in the morning on February 20th, a family of cats was found abandoned in a carrier outside the shelter. Inside were a mother cat and her four kittens, all in need of urgent care. After intake exams, it was discovered that all five were suffering from a highly contagious fungal infection known as ringworm, which affects the skin and hair.

Because of the nature of the infection, the cats were immediately moved to an isolation area to prevent it from spreading to other animals. Their treatment began right away, with initial care and medication costs totaling around $500. Unfortunately, the infection was more severe than expected and required multiple rounds of medication and extended treatment to fully resolve.

Thanks to the dedication of our medical and care team, all five cats were officially cleared of ringworm as of May 1. They are now healthy, thriving, and ready to find loving homes through adoption.
