Minerva

My story

We are a fun group of kittens who love to play with each other and we love being held. Just pick us up and we immediately start to purr. Here's our medical story: We came from the SF Humane Society and we're in very bad shape. Someone dropped us off in the night drop at 5 weeks old - we were emaciated, cover with dirt and had ringworm and upper respiratory infection. We got through ALL of that and now look great. However we still are dealing with something called coccidia despite several treatments. According to KittenCoalition.org "Coccidiosis is an intestinal tract infection caused by coccidia. Although coccidia live in the intestines, they are not worms. Rather, they are protozoan (single-celled) parasites. The two most common species of coccidia found in cats are Isospora felis and Isospora rivolta. They are host-specific, meaning a cat can only transmit an infection to another cat and not to another animal, including humans." What this means is we do have some diarrhea, and we can transmit to other cats (but not people!) We also require our litterbox be cleaned daily. We are undergoing treatment and even if left untreated, coccidia will resolve itself as we reach adulthood. We also take probiotics with our food. We are available for adoption with the understanding that SETNR will provide the medications and veterinary support until the condition resolves. We are really fantastic kittens and would love to find a home! Pink collar
