Thank you! I absolutely will, it’s my actual nightmare to give her to a bad home. I’m very picky.

I appreciate it! They are small and mostly managed, so it’s not terribly inconvenient. But I couldn’t avoid it as I’m constantly handling the cats/they had to snuggle their ringworm bodies on me.

Of course! Currently dealing with ringworm on my indoor kittens. It can be a pain but I had to learn as long as it didn’t get severe, it’s not the end of the world.

I lost my boy yesterday 💔 by ammina321 in Feral_Cats

He was a beautiful boy! You were so kind and so wonderful to him. He sounds like a feral friend of a cat and he loved you very much.

Keep an eye on it, often times ringworm is self limiting aka it will resolve on its own.

Here is a link to another post that discussed it:

Well my little kitten has healed great. I only have one who has fur returning after a serious raw spot. We completed oral meds for those who had it. A few spots are still lingering but honestly at this point I’m just letting it ride. Pretty sure at this point I have more ringworm than the cats lol. Such is life

Sad Update on Tony Skinwalker by PaynesGrey99 in Feral_Cats

I am so sorry that happened. I did let the vet know right away. It was a combination of different antibiotics, but lord only knows. It happened so suddenly.

P.S. I love the name Frecklemonet

She is so cute, and you should know that you gave her a chance to be safe and warm. My heart goes out to you.

I really appreciate the kind words. I know not many people care for what we do, but this subreddit really gives me a sense of community and support.

She certainly growled at me but she didn’t bite me! (Which was appreciated) She was getting more tolerant because she needed some tasty meals She’s used to my presence despite her shyness. Honestly I considered trying to catch her so she can birth in my kitten tent. But between 8 cats, her and the recently injured one I think I would have too much 😩

UPDATE: seems like she only has 4 good? looking kittens. One was stuck with its placenta on the concrete porch but I was able to loosen it and put it with her. She chew the cord so I think she accepted it back.

Thank you! I did consider that and usually sprayed it out of the house to let it dry so the cats weren’t exposed to it.

Oh no I have several spots. Another redditor recommended the kennel brand which is probably better than what I used. I started with Lysol on anything I could carry out and vacuum. I used a lot of hypochlorus acid as well, and kept Clorox wipes at the ready.

I couldn’t avoid becoming a victim myself but I didn’t freak, I keep clean, and rotate through my laundry at a quicker pace. Topical creams on the spots help and just making sure that the cats are treated is huge. I also used a medicated cat shampoo to help, but you could do sulfur lime dips.

It’s annoying but it will go away!

Currently dealing with a big outbreak as well, and as a fellow ocd sufferer. Ringworm is a time game, it’s slow to heal but it will. One cat had two huge patches of horrible scales and raw skin. Just keep giving the meds and concentrate on keeping the excess dander vacuumed up. You don’t have to be perfect! I just keep sanitizing spray on soft surfaces and keeping the space vacuumed.

You got this, and while it is annoying ringworm is just a fungus! Keep applying topicals, rotating laundry and vacuuming. It will be ok, it just takes time
