Feline Wellness: A Guide to a Lifetime of Wellness for Your Cat

Surveys show that cats outnumber dogs in U.S. households, yet cats receive significantly less veterinary care. One reason cat owners overlook their cat’s medical needs is that people don’t recognize signs of illness or injury in their feline companion. Luckily, there’s much that you can do to keep your cat healthy and happy from kittenhood through the senior years. This lecture covers understanding behavior and environmental issues, ensuring proper veterinary care, and recognizing common signs of aging and age-related diseases. This class will be held on Monday, Sept 13th. The early registration deadline is Wednesday, Sept 1.
