Will the vet report me for having too many cats?

Hi there! It's great that you're reaching out with your concern about having several cats. Having multiple pets is quite common, and many people are great at managing larger pet families.



Veterinarians primarily focus on the health and welfare of the animals. We only raise concerns if a situation might pose a risk to the wellbeing of the pets or their owner. Issues like overcrowding, sanitary housing, and ensuring each cat gets proper nutrition and veterinary care are our main priorities.



At home, ensure that your cats have enough space and resources like food bowls, litter boxes, and resting areas. A good rule is to have one litter box per cat, plus one extra, and make sure they're cleaned regularly. Also, having a balanced diet appropriate for each cat's life stage is important for their health.



Watch for signs of stress or illness in your cats, such as changes in eating habits, unexplained weight loss, or aggressive behavior. These can indicate that a cat isn’t coping well or might need vet attention.



If you have more specific concerns or any of your cats are showing worrying signs, consider booking a video consult with us at Dial A Vet. We can provide tailored advice and help ensure all your furry friends are thriving.
