What should I pay attention to when adopting stray cats? Let s take a look together

What should I pay attention to when adopting stray cats? First, you need to have a health check, because stray cats may carry diseases and should go to the veterinary hospital to check their health status.

1. Take a stray cat for a physical examination

Because stray cats live outside for a long time and are prone to parasites and other diseases, when the owner decides to adopt a stray cat, he must first take it to a pet hospital for a full-body examination to see if it carries infectious diseases such as cat plague virus, cat nasal branch virus, cat calicivirus, etc., and check the cat's hair, whether there are skin diseases such as ringworm, whether the eye conjunctiva is normal, whether there are ear mites in the ears, etc. If there is any, treatment will be performed directly, and if everything is healthy, you can take it home.

2. After deworming and vaccinating stray cats, if the examination results are good, you can deworm them on the same day, and then observe whether the stray cat's spirit, appetite and urine and defecation are normal. If everything is normal after a week of observation, you can get the stray cat vaccinated. However, if an abnormality is found, you need to take it to the pet hospital for examination and treatment in time.

3. Prepare all daily necessities

When you decide to bring the stray cat home, the owner should also pay attention to preparing various daily necessities for it in advance, such as cat food, cat litter box, food basin, water basin, cat scratch board, cat toys, cat sticks, etc., so that the cat can slowly adapt to the new environment.

4. Bathe stray cat

After the stray cat adapts to the new home, the owner can start preparing to bathe it and blow dry the hair in time after taking a shower to prevent the cat from catching a cold.

5. Pay attention to isolation

If you have other cats at home, the owner needs to isolate the stray cat from the cat at home at the beginning to avoid the domestic cat being infected with the disease. After the stray cat has finished the experience, deworming, vaccination, and bathing, try to get the cat and stray cat in the family to start contacting.
