We have created a knowledge hub specifically for those of you looking to adopt a cat for the first time.There is so much that makes a cat a great pet and companion, the first being how long they live. Cats generally live between 12 and 18 years, and it isn’t unusual for a cat to live until 20 years old or older. If you’re looking to adopt, take a moment to consider that you are prepared for this long-term commitment of your time, energy and finances.
It doesn’t need to be a scary journey, here are the some key tips for first time kitty parents.
Parasites love your pets and can quickly infect you and your loved ones. Here’s how to protect the whole family.
Long, healthy and happy lives are easily catered for and just like parasite protection – food prep can be confusing.
For outdoor cats, the life expectancy dramatically decreases to just 3 to 5 years. Outdoor cats are at far greater risk of tick, flea and worm infestations and require consistent treatment.
If you have other pets at home, especially other cats or dogs, speak with an adoption counselor before adopting. They can give you helpful advice for how to choose your new kitten and how to slowly introduce it to your home environment and your current pet household to give the very best chance of a positive adoption outcome.
