Cat Health & Safety

Not every accident or emergency is preventable and knowing what type of first aid to provide (or not!) can have a big impact on your cat’s comfort and survival should poisonings, wounds, seizures, and other problems arise. Check with your local Animal ER or humane society to see if they offer first-aid classes, or find a good online course. Note that first aid is often just that: “first” aid. Meaning that, a veterinarian should still see your cat after you’ve provided initial care.
