I hope you did not sign up with Banfield. If you do a google search under
"groups," you will find a number of references -- many negative. PetSmart
(Banfield) is convenient, but that does not necessarily mean "good." Please
ask around for references (your petloving friends can be good sources of
information), and get to a vet who can do a reasonable assessment of
ringworm and other potential problems.

I generally work with another clinic - I only use Banfield when I
really have no other choice. Generally that is when someone tries to
drop-off a cat they found/don't want any longer at PetsMart. If the
cat doesn't look healthy/socialized enough for reference to a local
open admission shelter, we usually agree to take the cat provided the
owner is willing to pay for an FIV/FeLV test, which is then done right
at Banfield.

Thanks!
