@FeebysOwner thanks! The problem is that I have no other space that I could move the kitten to that would keep her quarantined. She’s currently in my bedroom, I don’t have another room with a door that she could be in. They told us the results could take 2 more weeks, but usually if positive...

@Furballsmom thanks! Part of the issue is that the 2 cats haven’t met yet so I think our older cat feels like she’s been replaced. We found out about the ringworm less than 24hrs after we got her (the shelter didn’t think it was ringworm at all so they were surprised with a positive test).It...

I have an almost 3 mo old kitten that tested positive for ringworm. She’s been on itrafungol and topical spray. The suspected ringworm was at the very tip of her tail. Since then, her tail has completely healed and the fur grew back. She’s had 3 woodslamp tests, all negative. She had a...

Thanks for your reply. My understanding is that humans should also have limited contact, the kitten shouldn’t be on furniture, and I’ve read that you should change your clothes after handling them and everything should be disinfected/laundered in high heat. It seems like a lot of work and that’s...

I adopted a 2.5 mo old kitten, the next day the shelter called me to tell me she has ringworm. It’s a little tiny bit on the tip of her tail. My vet said he’s not sure why she wasn’t in isolation if she was pending results or why she was in a room with 12 other kittens, but that’s another story...

OK, sorry if this is a stupid question but since I removed her from the starter room, should it be expected that it can take a week from then for her to warm up? Does a cat go through that phase every time they are introduced to a new area?

Thanks for the info. Any advice on what I should do with the food and litter? Do I need to keep putting it where she is hiding or can I put it in a permanent spot and make her seek it out?

Hi, circling back around with an update and another question. We got the new girl out of the starter room, but I'm just really confused by her behavior. One minute she's on my bed, in the open, and nothing phases her. She will let everyone come say hello, pet her, etc. then the next minute she's...

So, I was planning to “open the gates” today but when I went up get the new girl she hissed several times at me. She’s never done that before so it startled me. I had just been playing with her and she was very affectionate just 20 minutes before this happened. My daughter told me she did the...

Hello, I adopted a 6 month old kitten 2 weeks ago. I had an 8 month old kitten at home already. New kitten was really shy at first but after a few days we were able to get her to come out of her carrier for pets, food, and play. She was a little hesitant about being picked up, but would let us...
