Hello! I have ringworm, a treatable fungal infection of the skin that can be itchy but otherwise harmless in minor cases like mine. I require a course of Itraconozole, an antifungal medication that is taken by mouth every day for a few weeks. Ringworm can be transmissible to humans and other animals, so it's important to keep me separate from other pets in the home, wash hands after playing with me, and perhaps have a specific set of clothes to wear when interacting with me. Giving me lyme sulfur dip baths a couple of times per week can also help to minimize risk of spreading. It's also a good idea to make sure fabrics in the room I'm housed in are washed frequently - who knew adopting a kitty with ringworm would be a great way to help you stay on top of your household cleaning too?Bumble tolerates attention and petting but appears to be moderately fearful or stressed in the shelter. He will likely need time to warm up to his new home. We recommend that he go to a home with some cat experience preferred or at least be well counseled in fearful cat behavior.
