About Sprinkle
Little Miss Sprinkle has started the search for her furever fmaily!
Coming into care as a stray newborn baby, Sprinkle was lucky enough to be taken in by Gypsy, a Mumma cat who had sadly lost her own baby. Gypsy has done a wonderful job at raising Sprinkle and her sister Buttercup!
Sprinkle has been raised in a foster family with children, adults, cats and dogs, so would adapt well into almost any household!
Sprinkle will go to her new home up to date with flea, tick, and worming treatments as well as desexing, microchip, and first vaccination and will be ready to leave care over the next two weeks once she has recovered from her ringworm spots!
Medical notes
Miss Sprinkle has been through a tough battle with a fungal skin infection known as ringworm. Ringworm is a pesky skin infection that is caused by a group of fungi called dermatophytes that feed on keratin in skin, hair, and nail tissue. We most commonly see ringworm in kittens, mainly strays that have been rescued. The typical appearance is patchy areas of hair loss with scaly skin, especially around the head, face, and feet.
The ringworm fungus does not always result in an infection. The amount of environmental contamination is an important factor in the development of a ringworm infection, as is the age of the exposed person or animal. Healthy adult humans are usually resistant to infection unless there is a break in the skin such as a scratch. Elderly people, young children, and adults with immune system weaknesses or skin sensitivities are especially susceptible to ringworm infection.
What a brave girl!
We don't foresee any ongoing complications for this gorgeous girl once she is cleared of her ringworm, and we are estimating another fortnight for her to be able to go to her new family.
