Senior Cat Care
Senior cats deserve the greatest possible care. Morrisville Cat Hospital will keep your kitty friend healthy and happy.
Senior Cat Care
Cats are very good at hiding ailments, and by the time symptoms have started to show, their ailments can be in a stage of rapid progression. Cats are considered “senior” at the age of 7, and something as simple as weight loss or increased water consumption could indicate an underlying issue. Having your feline friends checked routinely is essential as a form of preventative care. Many feline diseases are often treatable, especially if they are caught early! Please refer to our guidelines for recommended health care for each life stage of your feline companion, and give us a call if you have any questions or concerns. Let us help you foster a long and healthy relationship with your feline companion.
