We’ve had a lot of questions lately from potential adopters about what vetting and preventative care our cats and kittens receive before adoption, so we wanted to walk everyone through our process from start to finish.
Every cat or kitten that comes through our doors begins preventative treatment immediately. All new arrivals receive Pyrantel to treat common intestinal parasites such as roundworms. They then complete a 5-day course of Panacur to address potential Giardia and other intestinal parasites. We don’t believe in waiting for symptoms to appear, we believe in being proactive whenever possible.
If a cat or kitten develops symptoms after treatment, we reassess and treat as needed, which may include additional Panacur and/or metronidazole under our veterinarian’s guidance.
Every cat also receives NexGard Combo, which helps protect against fleas, ticks, ear mites, roundworms, hookworms, and tapeworms.
One thing that is non-negotiable in our rescue is an antibacterial and antifungal bath upon intake. We understand not everyone agrees with bathing cats, but it is part of our protocol to help protect the animals already in our care and to give each newcomer the best start possible.
All cats and kittens begin their FVRCP vaccine series according to age and veterinary recommendations. Every cat that is old enough receives:
🐾 Rabies vaccination
🐾 Spay or neuter surgery
🐾 Microchip
🐾 FIV/FeLV testing
We are also excited to announce that moving forward, all cats and kittens will receive f***l parasite testing as part of our intake and adoption process.
We intentionally keep our numbers small so we can provide proper nutrition, individualized care, and thorough veterinary attention to every animal that enters our rescue.
No cat leaves our care without being combo tested and receiving the appropriate veterinary care for their age and needs.
If you’re adopting a cat from any source, we strongly encourage you to ask questions and make sure your new family member has received proper veterinary care, parasite prevention, vaccinations, and testing. These things don’t just protect your new pet, they protect the pets already in your home as well.
Thank you for trusting us with these cats and for supporting responsible rescue. ❤️
