🧡🐾 WELLNESS WEDNESDAY: WHEN DOES A COMMUNITY CAT NEED HELP? 🐾🖤
Community cats are resilient, but even our street-smart little friends can become sick or injured. Because they often hide signs of pain, knowing what to look for can make a world of difference! 🐱
🔎 Keep an eye out for:
🧡 Not eating, sudden weight loss, or unusual thirst.
🖤 Hiding more than usual, extreme tiredness, or sudden behaviour changes.
🧡 Limping, wounds, swelling, or signs of pain.
🖤 Runny eyes or nose, squinting, or cloudy eyes.
🧡 Persistent coughing, sneezing, or difficulty breathing.
🖤 Bald patches, sores, scabs, or a neglected coat.
🧡 Straining to urinate or defecate or blood in urine or stool.
🖤 Unusual lumps, bumps, or swelling.
🚨 PLEASE DON'T IGNORE THE WARNING SIGNS!
If you notice any of these symptoms, contact a local animal rescue or veterinarian for advice. Difficulty breathing, heavy bleeding, collapse, or straining to urinate with little or no urine needs urgent veterinary attention.
Even if you can't rescue every cat yourself, reporting a concern can help get a cat the care it needs. ❤️
🐾 Healthy cats make stronger, happier communities.
