We Support Every Stage Of Your Cat's Life
As your feline friend grows, he or she will move through several stages of life:
- Kitten: 0-1 year
- Young adult: 3—6 years
- Mature: 7—10 years
- Senior: 11—18 or more years
Naturally, as a cat grows and progresses through life, he or she will undergo physiological changes and face a variety of life events that will require care and attention. From kitten care to geriatric cat medicine, consistent preventive care can make all the difference in the quality of life of your cat. Ultimately, your cat's health will impact your relationship with him or her.
Cats are very good at hiding illness. In fact, most cats will simply become less active and less interactive when very ill. Any signs of illness that a cat may show will be very subtle. Therefore, any change in their behavior should warrant consideration that they may be ill. Many clients will return from work to find that their cat simply does not greet them at the door as usual. This may be an indication that your cat is isnt feeling well.
