New Orleans cat lounge closes temporarily after ringworm outbreak among cats

A newly opened New Orleans cat lounge, NOLA Cat Lounge, has closed temporarily after several resident cats contracted ringworm. The owner says staff will clean, disinfect, and treat for about a week, remove infected cats, and work with rescue and veterinary partners. Guests exposed are advised to monitor themselves and their pets, and the lounge plans increased sanitation and potential item replacements. fundraising is planned to offset losses as the business navigates the closure.
