Shy Kitten Finds Love After Fungal Infection
A black-and-white kitten named Fungi was rescued in Indonesia with a fungal skin infection that left his skin inflamed. After receiving veterinary treatment and spending months in foster care, his skin improved, but he remained extremely timid and often hid in his litter box.
At the Indonesia International Pet Expo, Fungi spent most of the event hiding and received little interest from potential adopters. A woman named Angelica approached him, held him, and the kitten relaxed, wrapped his paws around her wrist, and closed his eyes. Angelica applied through Bubupawpaw’s screening process and was approved to adopt him.
After adoption, Fungi was renamed Flowey. He now lives with a feline sibling, and the two cats have already formed a bond. Flowey’s journey from a homeless kitten with painful skin problems to a cherished family member took months of care and patience.
