Gigabit's Story

I have kind of a crazy story to share. I was picked up when I was just a tiny baby with ringworm, which is pretty common in outdoor kittens around Florida and also pretty easily treated. Usually. But mine would just not go away, and at one point my whole body was covered in terrible gray, crusty lesions! I had a bacterial skin infection too, so I was on all sorts of medication. I felt so sick! I saw a dermatologist and even they could not really help. But FINALLY after a very long course of antibiotics and anti-fungals, I am ringworm free and cleared for adoption! I will probably always have alopecia (hair loss) from my ordeal, and hyperkeratosis, which means I get little scabs here and there that will eventually fall off. But I'm such a good cat! I am a little skittish sometimes and I have trouble retracting my claws, probably due to scarring from everything I went through, so young kids might not be a great match. When I want love, though, I will be ALL up in your lap/face demanding attention! I cannot get enough! Just be patient with me when we get home; I'll probably hide the first day or so, but it wont be for too long. I get along GREAT with other kitties and sweet doggies, too!!
