Cats are wonderful companions, offering independence, affection, and entertainment. With an average lifespan of 15-20 years, owning a cat is a long-term commitment, and their needs must be carefully managed throughout their lives.
Before bringing your cat or kitten home, it’s important to check with your local council regarding regulations such as night curfews, compulsory containment within a property, desexing, and microchipping. These regulations ensure the safety and well-being of both your cat and the broader community.
At The Visiting Vet, we offer expert guidance on all aspects of cat care, from choosing the right cat for your lifestyle to managing their health with regular check-ups, vaccinations, and parasite control.
Regular health screenings are essential to ensure your cat stays happy and healthy. At The Visiting Vet, we recommend the following annual check-ups for cats of all ages:
