Cat Care 101

Spay & Neuter

Spaying or neutering your cat not only prevents unwanted litters, but also reduces health risks and unwanted behaviors. It’s a simple step that makes a big difference for both your cat and the wider community of stray animals.

Enrichment & Play

Cats need more than food and shelter—they need stimulation. Toys, scratching posts, climbing spaces, and even window views keep them mentally and physically active. Playtime also strengthens the bond between you and your cat.

Veterinary Care

Regular vet visits are one of the most important parts of keeping your cat healthy. Checkups help catch problems early, keep vaccinations up to date, and ensure your cat is protected from parasites. Even indoor cats need routine care to live long, happy lives.

Nutrition

Cats are obligate carnivores, which means they need a protein-rich diet to thrive. A balanced cat food gives them the nutrients they can’t get from table scraps or dog food. Fresh water should always be available, and treats are best kept in moderation.

Grooming & Hygiene

Most cats groom themselves, but they still benefit from human help. Regular brushing reduces shedding and hairballs, while nail trimming keeps claws healthy and furniture safe. Some cats may also need dental checkups to prevent tooth and gum issues.

Behavior & Communication

Cats speak through body language, sounds, and even their tails. Learning to read these signals helps you understand their needs—whether they want playtime, space, or comfort. Respecting their cues builds trust and strengthens your relationship.

Adoption Benefits

When you adopt, you’re giving a cat a second chance at life. Many shelter cats are already socialized, litter-trained, and ready to join a home. Adoption also helps reduce overpopulation and supports rescue organizations doing life-saving work.

Cats & the Environment

Choosing eco-friendly litter, sustainable toys, and recyclable packaging helps reduce your cat’s environmental pawprint. Keeping cats indoors or in safe enclosures also protects local wildlife while keeping your pet safer from harm.
