I rescued a kitten from Corfu to Germany and we went to the vet today, she said it might be some kind of fungus. She took a sample and said we should know in 1-2 weeks but she didn‘t really give me instructions for how to deal with it until then. She only said it is a baby and needs time with me or it will be bad for its socialisation but also we should not have contact with it or it will probably infect us. Before we knew this we already slept in the same bed with it and kissed it a lot. I am washing everything at 60 degrees celsius and putting it in a separate room but I can not possibly leave it alone in there for weeks! Help!

My 8–9 week old kitten that I rescued has been scratching a lot and has hair loss/scabs around his ears, head and neck. The vet took hair/scab samples and suspects possible ringworm (zoonotic), but the lab results will take 1–2 weeks. He's been given Stronghold in the meantime.
Before we knew, we cuddled and kissed him constantly and even slept in the same bed with him. I also have a 13-year-old cat who hasn't met him directly, but there's been indirect contact through us.
I've now isolated the kitten in one room, removed most fabrics/rugs, washed things at 60°C, vacuumed thoroughly, and I'm wearing separate long clothes when cuddling/playing with him. I'm planning around 4 hours of interaction per day so he's not socially isolated.
Has anyone dealt with ringworm in such a young kitten? How strict were you with cleaning/clothing, did your other pets or family catch it, and how did you balance isolation with socializing the kitten?

Hey, ich habe letzte Woche eine Straßen-Babykatze aus einem Auto gerettet und werde sie adoptieren, leider reise ich aber jetzt schon per Fähre ab und die Katze ist noch aufgrund von Impfungen und 2 Wochen Quarantäne bei einer Rescue Organisation auf Corfu. Ich würde alle Kosten übernehmen und mich sehr freuen, wenn jemand das kleine Mäuschen begleiten könnte, ich würde es dann am Flughafen direkt abholen! Am besten sind Flughäfen in NRW, vor allem Düsseldorf oder Köln. Meldet euch gerne bei mir wenn jemand jemanden kennt oder bei weiteren Fragen, die Katze darf ab Sonntag fliegen ☺️

Hey, my Fitness Level is okay but I am trying to get stronger, improve Vo2max and loose about 9 kg by December. Please send me a dm if you are interested in some friendly competition 🌞

How do I help my elderly (13) cat who seems depressed after moving in with me?

I love my cat so much, long story short we had her since she was a baby but she was bullied out by my other cats and lived outside most of her life. I am an adult now and adopted her so she can have a safe life and be cared for especially since she is older now but she has been living in my flat for a week and seems depressed.

I know that it takes much longer for a cat to get used to a space but I am worried because she hides or lays around all day and I don‘t think she‘s happy. She is 1% interested in playing or cuddling right now and 99% interested in being alone. I just want to do right by her! She eats and uses the litter box every day, she gets free water and she has a big cat tree and is adored by me and my roommates.

We have been to the vet last week and did a full body check, blood tests and vaccinations on her and she is absolutely healthy.
Should I leave her alone? Spend more time with her? Maybe get her a harness and try to walk around outside a bit? Suggestions are welcome.
