I found a stray cat

Hi there! It’s wonderful of you to care for a stray cat. Cats can be masters of disguise when it comes to hiding illness. Let’s make sure this new feline friend is healthy and comfortable.



Firstly, observe for any obvious signs of injury or illness. Check for limping, sneezing, excessive scratching, or any discharge from the eyes or nose. Also, note if the cat is underweight or appears to be struggling to breathe.



Stray cats often face external parasites like fleas and ticks, or internal ones like worms. While a full vet visit is essential, you can start by providing some basic care at home, such as ensuring the cat has a safe, warm space to relax and is given nutritious food and fresh water.



Watch for serious signs, such as not eating or drinking, vomiting, diarrhea, or extreme lethargy. These could indicate medical issues needing immediate attention.



Engaging with a vet is the best way to ensure your new friend’s health, so please consider booking a video consult with us. We can guide you on the next steps and help determine if any treatments are necessary. We’re here to support you both as you start this new journey together!
