My name is Virginia!

Hello! I am on treatment for ringworm, a treatable fungal infection of the skin that can be itchy but otherwise harmless in minor cases. I require a course of Itraconozole, an antifungal medication that is taken by mouth every day for a few weeks. Ringworm can be transmissible to humans and other animals, so it's important to keep me separate from other pets in the home, wash hands after playing with me, and perhaps have a specific set of clothes to wear when interacting with me. Giving me lyme sulfur dip baths a couple of times per week can also help to minimize risk of spreading. It's also a good idea to make sure fabrics in the room I'm housed in are washed frequently - who knew adopting a kitty with ringworm would be a great way to help you stay on top of your household cleaning too?

I would appreciate slow introductions to new people and places to help me feel safe.

Cheek and chin scratches make me so happy!
