🐱💙 Happy International Cat Day! 💙🐱
Today we're celebrating all the wonderful cats who brighten our lives and the homes they rule!
From playful kittens to wise old whiskers, every cat deserves to be celebrated. We feel incredibly fortunate to care for so many amazing feline patients and to be part of their health journey every step of the way.
With so many adorable kittens in today's photos, it's also the perfect opportunity to share an important reminder. Kittens can become pregnant from as young as 4 months of age, often before owners realise they're mature enough to breed.
Desexing not only helps prevent unwanted litters but also provides important health and behavioural benefits for your cat. If you're thinking about desexing your kitten or cat, now is a great time—Vet Cross is currently offering 20% off cat desexing until the end of August.
If you're considering adding a feline friend to your family, remember that while a "free" kitten may seem like a bargain, the costs of vaccinations, microchipping, desexing, parasite prevention and ongoing healthcare quickly add up. Adopting from a rescue or shelter often means many of these essentials have already been taken care of, while also giving a deserving cat a loving home.
Happy International Cat Day from all of us at Vet Cross! 🐾💙
