Today is Global Cat Day, a special occasion devoted to unowned, free-roaming “community” cats. These cats often get a bad rap but it’s important to understand that these cats aren’t so different from our beloved pets. As a matter of fact, many are living on the streets as a result of being abandoned by their families.
We've included some tips to help manage and care for the community cats in your neighborhood.
Helping these cats starts by being a responsible guardian! Spay/neuter your own cat and keep them indoors.
* In just seven years, a single pair of cats and their offspring could produce a staggering total of 420,000 kittens! #VCApets
It is National Black Cat day!
Who has some great black cat pics?
VCA Animal Hospitals and the University of Missouri are collaborating on a research project and are looking for owners of cats diagnosed with Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma in the past 10 years (after January 2010.)
Criteria:
- Cats diagnosed with oral squamous cell carcinoma via histopathology (biopsy) or cytology (aspirate)
- Owner willing to participate in an approximately 10-15 minute online survey regarding their cat’s medical history and environment
- Survey participants must consent to allow access to the cat’s medical records to confirm the diagnosis.
Benefit:
· Information gathered from this survey study will be crucial in determining potential risk factors related to the development of FOSCC, as well as possible preventative measures for cat owners in the future.
If you are interested in participating, please contact FOSCCsurvey@missouri.edu to receive the weblink to our survey! #vcacares
New way to pay!
The next time you are here with your pet, we have a new Text to Pay system that will allow you to make a secure online payment for your visit. We are very excited to have this new payment option. It's one more way to keep your information secure.
Thank you to all who served and continue to serve our country!
