Scabies Kitten

This little guy came in last Friday - November 20th ... Vicky found him at the colony she just discovered - a bunch of unfixed cats, a lot of them with horrible scabies.

The little boy was one of the worst. He was covered with crusts and constantly itching, yet purring and so affectionate...



Michael helped me give the kitten a shot of Ivermectin - the poor guy was not happy and cried like a baby!- but a week later he is showing so much improvement...a lot of the scabs fell off and he has a huge appetite...

His siblings and relatives got trapped this weekend - 9 cats in a matter of an hour or two. A number of bad scabies, and all starving...All fixed now and recovering...

Hopefully, the friendly guy recovers enough to be accepted for adoption...he sure does have a sad story to motive people to give him lots of love~
