Scarab *ringworm* - Domestic Medium Hair Cat for Adoption in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Scarab is secretly a sweet little guy who, once he's had a few minutes to warm up, can be really curious and playful, and he loves toys! He's a gorgeous little tabby who just need a little TLC time in a home to recover from a common skin infection called ringworm.

------------------------------------

This pet is currently being treated for ringworm, a mild fungal infection of the skin that usually clears up within 6-8 weeks of starting treatment. Ringworm care can actually be a breeze with the right set-up and if you have the time to dedicate to it, but it can be a bit tedious since it can spread easily to any living creature and requires some caution to prevent that. Unless the home has enough space to keep everyone fully and safely separated, we would love to find a home without any really young kids or other pets, just to limit the risk of exposure. All the follow-up care we provide for your ringworm pet is free of charge at our Grays Ferry clinic while they finish their treatment with you, and this cat's adoption fee is waived! Our staff will be happy to tell you more about Ringworm, and you can learn more about Ringworm here: phillypaws.org/ringworm-faq

Because this pet isn't yet altered, they are only eligible for adoption via our Pre-Adopt program, which will require an extra verification step as well as a $100 deposit per animal that is fully refunded after their spay/neuter surgeries. Any additional questions about this can be covered when you reach out about them!**

------------------------------------
