Kristy Henning, the director of the Emmett County Animal Shelter in Esteville, Iowa, recently discovered three abandoned kittens with severe ringworm at the entrance of the shelter. At that time, she had just returned from going out and saw these kittens being directly thrown on the carpet without any notes or cages, which made her both angry and heartbroken.
As tinea is highly contagious, Henning quickly put on gloves, moved the kitten to the isolation room, and thoroughly disinfected the entrance area to avoid the risk of transmission. These three kittens – named Boey, Daria and Cricket respectively – are in extremely poor physical condition. Especially Boey, the ringworm is so severe that it feels like being burned. The shelter immediately provided them with sulfur bath treatment and isolated them for care multiple times due to immune system problems.
The three kittens have a deep bond and are inseparable. When they are apart, they show unease. Now they have fully recovered and are gentle and friendly: Boey is lively and outgoing, and the two sisters are gentle and well-behaved. Henning hopes they can be adopted and it would be best if they could live together, but he also understands the difficulty of adopting three at the same time.
Their recovery journey is touching. Now they are only lacking a permanent home. Henning said. The shelter calls on kind-hearted people to give these tenacious and lovely kittens a warm home.
