Cats are prone to kidney health issues and diabetes, especially as they get older. This little guy was named after T.S. Eliot, the poet who inspired the musical ‘Cats’ when he wrote about feline psychology and sociology.

Feline hyperthyroidism and chronic renal failure (CRF) are common diseases in senior cats. Because several common diseases of older cats-diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, intestinal cancer, and chronic kidney failure- share some of the clinical signs of hyperthyroidism, it is important to run a series of tests to determine what your kitty needs.

Caring for our senior pets can sometimes require changes and extra TLC. Our patience grows and so do our hearts as our fur babies start coming to their golden years. This means that we sometimes need to make more trips to the vet, walking just a little slower on our daily strolls, giving a hand when climbing...

Feline Leukemia (FeLV) is a contagious condition in cats. FeLV can cause blood disorders and immune deficiency. Because of this decreased immunity, cats infected with FeLV may have a harder time fighting off basic infections. It is not impossible, however, for a cat to live a happy, healthy life with FeLV.
