The kittens are seven weeks old now! Unfortunately, these little balls of energy are back in the foster room after getting diagnosed with ringworm a week ago. Ringworm is contagious to other animals and to humans and is a pain in the butt to treat. If you want an idea of what we're all going through, take a look at The Kitten Lady's ringworm page and video. Suffice to say, it's five weeks of cleaning, baths, topical treatments, and oral medications. The kitties don't want it and we feel awful for having to do it to them, but we have to do it if we want them to get better!

We're still reworking the foster room. The shelving you see in the video below are gone, replaced by another litter box. The scratching post has been moved so the kitties can use it to get onto the futon, the underside of which has now been blocked off so no one can get behind it. This means less area for us to clean so we can spend less time disinfecting and more time playing with the kittens - and oh, they may have ringworm, but they still know how to play! They are, after all, still kittens.
