She-ra is a bundle full of crazy energy that will make you question your sanity, but in the best way possible. She wants absolutely nothing but love and a lot of toys. She's a silly and sweet girl who will always be there for you when you need her.
She-ra has two fecal parasites that limit her ability to be around other cats: Tritrichomonas, which is very difficult to cure, and Cryptosporidium, which can also be difficult to cure, as some cats can be resistant to the medication. The medication that most commonly cures Tritrichomonas is not FDA approved, but it is available online from a website that sells dewormers. She-ra has gone through multiple rounds of treatment, however the parasite is still present. This parasite is not common: studies show it is not too common in street cats, but it is more common in catteries, as it is contagious, but rarely tested for unless a PCR Parasite panel is done, which is what we use to test all of our cats. Though, from those studies, only 31% of cats in catteries had it. She-ra has not been around any other cats except her brother, who did not have it.
Cryptosporidium has two medications that are available that She-ra has already taken, but the parasite is still there.
She-ra has been asymptomatic of both parasites for the duration of her stay, but we will continue to treat her until it is gone. She can still be adopted if the adopter:
-has no other cats
-has other cats with Tritrichomonas and Cryptosporidium
-understands the risks of the parasite spreading to other household cats and symptoms that could come with it
