Hello,
I adopted two domestic shorthair cats from a shelter two days ago. One had a cold the first day I went to visit the shelter about two weeks ago and was treated with antibiotics. I waited two weeks until the antibiotics were done to pick them up.
I looked at the paperwork today because she still seems very weak with watery eyes, and I saw a note in the documents saying she had three circular lesions on her on 11/17. I called the shelter and they said they didn't know what was done to treat the lesions. They just noticed them during spay surgery. They said there was nothing in the documents that said what they did to treat them. I can still see the lesions and they look just like ringworm, especially the one on the tail.
I must have asked them a million times if the cats had any diseases because I have a toddler at home. They told me that they didn't. I am absolutely furious. Why would they lie or not check the history before letting me adopt her? She was checked out by the agency's vet two weeks before I adopted her and that's when they found out she had a cold. Based on the paperwork and the lesions I see, I'm sure she has ringworm.
I like the cats a lot, but I have a toddler at home, and I'm just plain angry now!!! What should I do? Return the cats or keep them? I adopted them on Monday and it's Wednesday now. We're not that attached to them yet obviously, and I would choose my daughter's health over them anyway.
Please help me decide!!!
