Even though we no longer publish detailed health articles, your cat’s wellbeing is still at the heart of everything we do. We’ve shifted our focus toward cat behaviour, but we know how important it is to have trusted information when health questions arise.
Below you’ll find a selection of cat health resources we personally trust. Each one offers reliable, up-to-date guidance from veterinary experts, written for cat owners who want clear and accurate advice.
