  2. Caring for Cats the Right Way Cats are independent, intelligent, and affectionate creatures—but they also have unique health and behavioral needs. Whether you’re a new cat owner or a seasoned feline friend, understanding how to provide the best care is essential to a long and happy life together. ODAHC’s Commitment to Cats At Old Dominion Animal Health Center, we’re passionate about feline wellness. Our team provides expert guidance in nutrition, health monitoring, behavior, and routine veterinary care tailored specifically to your cat’s needs.

  3. Routine Veterinary Care for Cats Annual Checkups Are Key Physical exams can detect hidden illnesses early. Senior cats may need exams every 6 months. Vaccinations Core vaccines: FVRCP, Rabies Lifestyle-based vaccines: Feline Leukemia (FeLV) Preventive Screening Bloodwork and urinalysis Parasite control (fleas, ticks, heartworms) Spaying/Neutering Helps prevent behavioral and reproductive issues Reduces risk of certain cancers

  4. Nutrition, Litter Box Tips & Grooming Balanced Diet Cats are obligate carnivores—meat is a must. Avoid grain-heavy or low-protein diets. Watch for weight gain—obesity is common in indoor cats. Hydration Encourage water intake with fountains or wet food. Dehydration is a concern, especially in older cats. Litter Box Care One box per cat, plus one extra Scoop daily, clean weekly Watch for signs of urinary or GI issues (like frequent trips or accidents) Grooming & Claw Care Brush long-haired cats regularly Trim nails every few weeks Monitor for signs of dental disease
