Community cats live long and healthy lives in their outdoor homes. However, there may come a time when a cat needs immediate support for a health emergency. Fast action makes all the difference. Our new guide gives advocates the tools to act quickly and confidently to help cats in need! The most important step: Do NOT wait. Contact a veterinarian immediately.
Our How to Help Sick or Injured Cats Outdoors guide is spiral-bound and waterproof so it can travel with you anywhere you—or the cats—are! Within, you’ll find critical information on:
How to assess the severity of a community cat’s illness or injury
The visual guide within will help you determine which health concerns are emergencies that must be addressed by a veterinarian immediately. These are the emergencies where every minute counts.
To help save lives, our guide also walks through what NOT to do when a cat is sick or injured. Number one: Do not bring a community cat indoors, place her in a cage, and not seek veterinary assistance. Doing so will not help, but will do harm.
How to create a plan to take a community cat to the veterinarian
From finding the right veterinarian who is willing and ready to treat community cats to negotiating on payment to how to transport an injured cat to the vet—our guide walks through it all.
How to develop a long-term care and recovery plan
Community cats are generally not socialized to people and are highly stressed by confinement indoors. Our guide walks through the best environment and methods to provide treatment to help them recover AND return to their outdoor homes swiftly.
You’ll also find techniques to medicate and treat community cats when they are in their outdoor homes.
Preventative measures against common cat health issues
Our guide walks through measures to stop cat health emergencies before they ever begin! You’ll find information on preventing medical concerns related to fleas, intestinal parasites, diarrhea, and more—all tailored to the unique needs of community cats.
