Meet Allison and her kittens!

Allison and her kittens were brought into our Centre this summer after her owner was unable to take care of her the birth of her kittens, and the needs of the other pets in the household.

Allison gave birth to four beautiful kittens, John, Claire, Brian, and Andrew. Unfortunately, Allison and her kittens have sadly tested positive for Ringworm and are being cared for in our isolation pens.

Ringworm is a contagious fungal infection, it often appears on the cat in circular scaly patches, hence its name of ringworm. Treatment is a 6-week course of oral medication and baths, under direction of the vet. They are re – tested before they can leave isolation and need to have two negative tests before being signed off as ready to home. Sadly Allison and her kittens have yet to have two negative tests, making their treatment and care a long costly process.

Ringworm is highly contagious to people and other cats. Strict barrier nursing care in Isolation is needed to protect our staff, volunteers and other cats in our care. We have separate personal protective equipment (PPE), litter and food for Allison and the kittens but with five cases of Ringworm this is very costly.

We would be grateful if you are able donate to help us facilitate Allison’s and the kitten’s treatment and help this family get back to full health! Any extra donations will go on to help our other cats currently in our care

We would also appreciate any donations of food and litters to help us with caring for this family

Thank you
