Cassius is a sweet, affectionate boy.  He loves to run and play with his siblings and will sleep next to you at night when he is not purring up a storm.    He does well with the other cats in his foster home. He is ok with a calm friendly dog but will throw a hiss at the dog in his foster home if he gets in his face or is too rambunctious.   Cassius is currently dealing with ringworm on his face and front right leg.  Ringworm is the common name for the skin infection caused by a group of fungi; it is not caused by a worm at all.   He will need to continue to take a once daily oral medication in conjunction with lime sulfur dipping.  Ringworm is closely related to athlete’s foot in people, and it is contagious to us; the young, old, and immunocompromised are more likely to get it so a cat with active ringworm should not be adopted by a household with young children, elderly persons or those with immune issues.   He started on 21 days of oral medication on Dec. 23rd 2020 and ringworm dipping started two weeks before that.   Ringworm treatment typically takes 6 weeks.   We offer a reduced adoption fee of $25 for cats under one year if you adopt and take them home while they have active ringworm or you can adopt for the full $80 fee and take them home once cleared of ringworm.  If you would like more information on adopting a cat with ringworm, put in an application and we will contact you.  

Adoption fee: $80.00 (6% KY sales tax included)
