Intake photo of the tiny newbie. She is being assessed and will be handed off to me once they've determined if she needs a vet visit first. Estimated 4 months old, very skinny, and having some dental issues.

Precious little baby, I hope she's alright, vets gotta be scary for such a little thumbellina of a cat 🥺

From the look of it, she probably has lungworm, and lots of other worms, plus the usual fleas/skinny/scared combo. She's being treated for those!

Do they wait until the treatment has been effective before she comes to you? Or do you quarantine her yourself?

I'll quarantine her here. Lungworm treatment works fast, so she won't be a shedding risk. And while we have panleuk, it's very very uncommon and basically triggers a giant vet alert if anyone tests positive.

That’s good to know. I looked up lungworm and it just doesn’t sound like any fun at all.

Not at all!

Does she get desexed too before coming to you?

No, she needs to get much healthier before she goes under a general anaesthetic. While she's technically over the weight limit, she's super skinny and has raspy lungs. Probably a month or so.

She is currently being hand fed wet food by one of our rescue owners.
