Hello Foster Family! So, here's the scoop: I've caught mange (aka scabies). But don't panic-it's not as scary as it sounds! With just two doses of a magical potion called Revolution, I'll be back to being my adorable, fluffy self in no time. In the meantime, I'll be rocking the "scruffy chic" look, but don't worry, I'm still irresistibly cute. So, what do you say? Can I stay with you while I heal and work on my glamorous makeover? Thanks a bunch! Mange isn't scary! After the first dose of Revolution, the mange mites begin to die off quickly, which means the cat or kitten is much less contagious right away. It is still necessary to take a few precautions such as wearing the gloves and gown provided by the foster department, washing your hands, and limiting close contact with other pets. The risk of spreading mange drops significantly once treatment has started. It's safe, it's manageable, and you can make a huge difference to an animals life by providing a comfortable and safe space outside the shelter!
