Although we are small in size we are big on ideals, as Caring for Cats is the only local re-homing organisation that ensures EVERY cat and kitten passes through a unique “7 Step Health Check” ....
1. Blood Testing
We screen for two diseases that are fatal to cats – FIV and Feline Leukaemia, which can pass from mother to kitten or between adults that fight or mate. This blood testing is ess
ential as it is the basis for the cat's future health and well-being.
2. Vet Check
Our vets give each animal a thorough physical examination and carry out any advised treatments – irrespective of the cost.
3. Vaccinations
We vaccinate against four diseases: cat flu, feline panleucopenia, feline enteritis & feline leukaemia. All cats will have had both their primary and booster vaccinations prior to rehoming.
4. Treatments for Parasites
All animals are regularly treated against fleas and worms using effective products
5. Micro-chipping
All animals are micro-chipped which will be transferred into your name on adoption.
6. Neutering
All adult cats are neutered on entering the charity; if not yet 4-5 months, kittens will be neutered at that age by returning them to any Swanbridge or Battle Flatts practice.
7. FREE Insurance
Receive 4 weeks’ FREE PetPlan insurance on the day of adoption, which we strongly recommend you continue, but you are under no obligation to. The cost of all these treatments would be at least £180 on the high street, yet the minimum donation we ask is only £85 - applicable to all cats and kittens equally.
