Cat Cartel Animal Abuse St Louis Missouri
I recently purchased an exotic shorthair kitten about three months ago from the Cat Cartel. She was shipped to me in an airplane. When I got her home I realized right away that she had two infected eyes and was sneezing. I took her to my vet who inspected her and he told me that she had an Upper Respiratory Infection. There is no cure for this. She has been on antibiotics and nothing has helped.
It's been months now and she still sneezes and has trouble breathing. I also noticed a month ago a strange red circle on my arm which turned out to be ringworm!! The kitten had given me ringworm and now my whole apartment has been exposed to it! She has since then had to be shaved twice and has to have weekly Lym dip treatments. I have had to scrub all hard surfaces with bleach and water. This is no small undertaking as it has to be done quite frequently!!!
I have to vaccuum daily and the spores of fungus could be on my furniture. IT HAS BEEN PURE H*LL!!!!!! I absolutely love this little cat and I'm hoping that this ringworm will be cured soon but I honestly don't know how long this will last. I just don't want anyone else to have to go through the same thing. My little kitten still has a cold that won't go away and she still is infected with ringworm. Beware the cat cartel!!!

Cat Cartel is a place that does not take care of their kittens. The cat I just adopted had ringworm, pneumonia, ear infection, conjunctivitis, and was only 3 lbs at 6 mo. She has refused to answer emails and help with the extensive vet bills. Freddie does not take care of her animals . Beware!

You can also try going to your store and picking up any ointment for athletes foot. All the ones I know of say ringworm too. The ringworm broke out AFTER your kitten arrived. Cats are CARRIERS of ringworm. They DO NOT need to be exposed to break out. It is a part of cat ownership. There are certain breeds that are even heavier carriers than others, persians are one of them. Ringworm is very minor, but I would test your cat for FIP (and leukemia and aids) if the eye infections and stuff don't improve. Also, you can run tests to see what anti-biotics your kitten is and is not sensitive too. Sometimes, it is because of the medications that an animal is not improving, not the illness. I can't tell you how many times I've seen clavamox do nothing more than waste time and money, and it's one of their favorites. I'm not giving medical advice, but talk to your vet about your different options, and do your research before you negatively bash people for something that may not have anything to do with them. I had an entire page on cats and ringworm that was in my file when I bred, and potential buyers were verbally informed, but hey, that's just me. I learned the truth of cats and ringworm before I purchased them, because I did my research and educated myself. I have seen the cyclines work very well on similar symptoms in the past, and it has to be given for a very long time to discolor the teeth. Allergies can also cause the other symptoms, but that is unlikely in this case. Good luck with your baby, they are a wonderful breed. I hope this is your only hiccup in your long life together.
