He is so cute Missy! I see he likes to make biscuits!
We had the same situation. Got a kitty from the county shelter that was supposed to be all "clean" and "clear". After our two cats and the kitty had been
introduced we realized the new kitty had ringworm.
I worked hard for a few weeks trying to keep the new kitty separated and happy. We had lots of visits to the vet. I was very frustrated. Finally, the
vet told me that if our other adult cats came from the SPCA/rescue they have probably already been exposed and wont get it again so there was no
need to separate them??? Well, thats all I needed to hear (basically, I gave up). In the end, the ringworm sort of ran its course. Our other 2 adult cats
did not get it and neither did any of the 4 members of the family.
I cant tell you what I did was the right thing but it all worked out in the end.
Wishing you luck!
