Pork Roll - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Adorable little nugget Pork Roll is being treated for suspected ringworm. He's around 8ish weeks old and such a bouncy, happy little guy.

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

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: https://phillypaws.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/PAWS-Ringworm-Guide-Foster-Pre-adopt.pdf

Because this pet isn't yet altered, for those interested in adopting, these two are only eligible 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!**

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

This cat is currently located at PAWS Grays Ferry clinic, which is not a walk-in facility. In order to meet with any cats at Grays Ferry, you will need to have a fully processed and approved application first.
