Care Roadmap
Practical guidance from early life through senior years. Choose your pet type, then open each stage for details.
Learn how kittens and puppies begin their lives. Kittens may be bred, rescued, or found as strays, while puppies are born in kennels or shelters.
Cats can be born in a cattery, rescued from shelters, or found as strays. Early socialization is key for their lifelong well‑being.
From research to home preparation, learn how to welcome your new pet. Cats often come from shelters or breeders, and dogs require careful breed consideration.
The adoption process for cats involves researching shelters or breeders, preparing your home with essentials (litter box, scratching post, etc.), and building trust as the cat adjusts to a new environment.
The first weeks are vital—pets receive vaccinations, nutrition, and socialization that set the stage for a healthy life.
Infancy in cats is marked by vaccinations, early vet checkups, and socialization that helps them develop a friendly and confident demeanor.
Adolescence brings increased independence, behavioral changes, and the need for continued training. Spay/neuter and diet transitions are common during this stage.
During adolescence, cats become more active and test boundaries. Spaying/neutering and continued socialization guide them toward adulthood.
During adulthood, pets require routine care, proper nutrition, regular exercise, and mental stimulation.
Adult cats enjoy their prime years. Routine vet checkups, a balanced diet, and regular play ensure they stay healthy and happy.
As pets age, they require more frequent vet visits, joint care, and modifications in their home environment.
Senior cats may develop arthritis or other age-related conditions. Increased vet care and a tailored diet help maintain their quality of life.
When a pet's quality of life declines, palliative care, compassionate decision-making, and aftercare support become essential.
End-of-life care for cats focuses on palliative measures, quality-of-life assessments, and compassionate aftercare options.
