Spot on my new kittens head?

We recently adopted a kitten the other day, and today I noticed this spot on her head. We are planning on bringing her to the vet but does anyone have an idea as to what this is?

Welcome to TCS joshg284

From what I can see, if it's just a bald spot, it's normal. It's pretty common in dark fur cats. It's easy to see on short hair cats. Your kitty looks like a DSH Tabby.
As long as it is not in a ring form with reddish outline, that rules out ring worms.
My boy has it too. But if you are overly concern about it, it's better to check with your vet.

Thanks a lot! I have to head to the vet for my pup so l'll just bring her along one time. This is about the spot to the left side of picture, right?

We're talking about the gray scabby spot yes?  Ringworm (not ring worms) is a fungal infection and can present in different ways, pink spots, or gray spots, welts, scabs etc., often on the head, paws and tail.  Usually it spreads, although if, and i say IF you kitten has it it may be an old case that's healing, not a new one. But whenever  you see bald spots in newly adopted cats or kittens, especially kittens, that have come from a multi-cat environment  one has to at least suspect ringworm.

This is not an emergency, its like athlete's foot but it is contagious to other animals and humans, but not wildly contagious.  Wash your hands, take the cat to your vet.  He or she may want to grow a culture.  If the vet suspects ringworm, contact the shelter or place you got the kitten from.  If you got the kitten from a shelter or rescue group, check right now what their post-adoption medical policy is.  They may cover costs, but if they do they may insist on using their vet, not yours.

I checked with my vet for my boy and the vet says nothing to worry about, that is for my boy. That's why in my earlier post I said to you, to be sure, bring your kitty to your vet and let the vet check it out.

What if its a feral cat that will not allow you to touch him?
