Featured Animal: Beastman

Beastman is a kitten with orange and white fur, currently available for adoption through the City of Bloomington Animal Shelter!

He is over halfway done with a five-week ringworm treatment protocol. The risks of transmitting ringworm at this stage are relatively low to adults, provided they follow through with the remainder of the ringworm protocol at home. However, older pets and people, very young pets or people, and immunocompromised individuals would be more susceptible to contracting ringworm. This is why animals with ringworm, or suspected ringworm, are isolated from the rest of the shelter population. Shelter animals are stressed, and this depresses their immune system.

Beastman craves snuggles and love, but shelter staff unfortunately cannot give him the attention he needs in isolation. If you take him home to finish his antifungal and topical treatments, shelter staff assures that you will not regret it!

To learn more about Beastman, including adoption details, please reach out to the City of Bloomington Animal Shelter at 812-349-3492.
