Vaccination is vital throughout your cat’s life. Within a few weeks of being born, your kitten will start to lose the natural resistance to disease which it gained from its mother’s milk and, sooner or later, it is almost certain to be exposed to infection of one kind or another through grooming, sharing litter trays or feeding bowls, fighting, or numerous other ways that are an everyday part of a cat’s life.

Neutering is a general term for castrating a male cat or spaying a female cat. Castration is the surgical removal of the testicles and spaying is the surgical removal of the ovaries and uterus. Both procedures are performed under a general anaesthetic.

Roundworms, Tapeworms, Lungworms, Whipworms and Hookworms can all affect your cat and some are a potential hazard to your family’s health. Statistics show that 60% of all cats in the UK have worms at any one time.

The Cats Protection charity alone re-homes 75,000 cats each year. Many of these are strays with no identification; either the cat has lost its collar or did not have one in the first place. Often it is an impossible task to trace the owner. You may think that you will never lose your cat...you may think that it will always return to you safely... please think again.
