This small Siamese/Domestic Short Hair kitten is currently in the care of Operation Kindness. She is a baby female who is recovering from some health issues, and she is searching for a foster home to support her healing. Her unique needs mean a separate space and special care, but she will surely reward her foster with lots of love.

About Sitka

Your new best friend is just one click away. Sitka is bursting with love and on the lookout for a caring foster home where she can rest and heal. She's currently recovering from ringworm, a common fungal skin infection that requires special attention. To ensure everyone's health and safety, it's recommended that she be kept in a separate room away from other animals, ideally one without carpeting or upholstered furniture. Good hand hygiene and changing clothes after handling her will help prevent any spread. Sitka's foster care plan includes regular lime sulfur dips and antifungal medication, along with ongoing treatment for some gastrointestinal upset. Prospective fosters will receive a full medical consultation at pickup to help you feel confident in providing the best care possible for her. The anticipated foster period is two to three weeks, but this may extend depending on her medical progress. Sitka is eligible for the Foster to Adopt Program, letting families offer her a loving space before she's formally available for adoption. Ready to give Sitka the comfort and care she deserves during her recovery? Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
