18 April 2026

On April 18, we had the pleasure of hosting a special event organized by Pairs Vigils—an initiative dedicated to providing psychological support for the Francophone student community, which creates safe spaces for reconnection, tranquility, and emotional balance.

Together, we brought to life a simple concept with real impact: time spent in quiet, alongside rescued cats. We provided the space and… the fluffy hosts, and they created the setting where people could, for an hour, slow down and breathe.

It was a full, warm day, with open-hearted people and cats who did their job better than any formal therapy: they offered presence, calm, and just the right amount of comfort.

💚 All donations collected during the event went entirely toward the care of the cats in our care, for whom every initiative like this matters immensely.

Thank you to Pairs Vigils for your collaboration and for the way you conceived and carried out this event. And thank you to everyone who was there—you made this day truly special.

1 March 2026

Even if it doesn’t seem like it, spring is on its way!
And what better way to welcome it than with a new “Martlets for Animals” event—the fifth edition—to which you are all invited!

As we do every year, our volunteers have been preparing well in advance so that visitors can enjoy clay or wooden mărțișoare, beaded necklaces, and braided bracelets. Each one is unique and special, just like the kittens in our care!

All proceeds will go toward our kittens, who can’t wait to feel the arrival of spring.

You’ll find us at the booth, ready to talk about the kittens, spaying and neutering, and adoptions!

We look forward to seeing everyone, young and old, to welcome spring together!

How to help your feline companion adapt safely and without stress.

Cats are animals deeply attached to their space. For them, a house is not just a place — it is their territory, their source of safety, a universe they know through smells, sounds, and routines. That is why moving can be a major event, sometimes overwhelming, taking them completely out of their comfort zone.

However, with a little preparation and a lot of patience, you can transform this change into a much gentler experience for your cat.

Cats sense human stress, and packing things, commotion, and multiple visits can create tension. To protect them:

• Create a safe space in a room where they won’t be disturbed;
• Keep their feeding and play routine as constant as possible;
• Get them used to carrier transport in advance, offering treats and leaving the door open for exploration;
• Keep familiar objects handy (blankets, toys, small blankets impregnated with the smell of the old house).

A calm cat before the move will be a calmer cat in the new house.

On moving day, the cat must be kept in a closed and safe space, preferably a bathroom or an empty room with the door closed. An open door or people constantly entering and exiting increase the risk of the cat running away in fear.

Transport the cat in a secure carrier, covered with a thin blanket to protect it from excessive stimuli.

Most cats need a few days — some even weeks — to feel safe in their new home. The most important step is not to give them total freedom from day one.

Start gradually:

• An accommodation room, where the cat has everything it needs: litter box, water, food, hiding places, toys, as many of its “old” little things as possible – now is not the time to change the cat’s accessories because objects with a familiar smell will help it feel continuity between the old house and the new one;
• Gradual exploration time, room by room, not the whole house at once;
• Calm presence, play, treats, and a gentle tone.

As it gains confidence, the cat will go out on its own to explore the rest of the house.

After overcoming the initial phase of anxiety, many cats draw closer to humans, seeking comfort and stability. This period is an excellent opportunity to create a deeper bond and establish new, positive routines.

Moving is not just changing an address — it is a real emotional challenge for your animal and it is important to think about the impact on it as well. But with care, patience, and a gentle pace, the cat can transform an unknown space into a new home, full of safety.

Adaptation must not be rushed. It just needs to be understood.

Cats communicate in subtle and sophisticated ways – and meowing is just a small part of their ‘language’. Often, their behaviors can seem strange or unpredictable, but in reality, every movement of the tail or position of the ears tells a story.

To build a harmonious relationship with your cat and to avoid misunderstandings or problematic behaviors, it is essential to learn to ‘read’ their non-verbal language.

Because ignoring these signals can lead to:

• Increased stress in the relationship with the cat.
• Wrong interactions (touching when it’s not appropriate).
• Unwanted behaviors, which are actually misunderstood messages.

Even though this guide is created mainly for understanding the house cat, the same clues can help you identify a cat in distress on the street. Here are some key signs:

To identify a veterinary emergency, read the article dedicated to this topic and act informed, without losing essential minutes.

Cat body language is a complete language – silent, but extremely expressive. Understanding these signals not only allows you to know your feline companion better, but also to prevent unwanted behaviors, conflicts, or ignored health issues.

Cats are not ‘cold’ or ‘indifferent’ – they communicate all the time. We just have to learn to understand them!

Cats often play by running, gently biting, and wrestling – behaviors that can seem rough if you don’t know their language. However, there are clear differences between healthy play and real aggression.

True play is balanced, fluid, and full of “unspoken rules” between participants. Here are the clear signs:

Even cats that get along well can have tense moments. Play turns into aggression especially when one of them becomes overwhelmed, scared, or feels the need to defend itself.

Here are the signs that clearly show the situation is no longer a game:

It is important not to separate cats with your hands, as we can be accidentally injured. Instead:

Prevention is key: well-defined spaces, sufficient resources (bowls, litter box, hiding spots), individual play sessions, and slow reintroductions.

Many cats seem “aggressive”, but in reality, they are scared, overstimulated, or have unmet needs. Observing their language helps you prevent conflicts and maintain harmony in the home.

How to help an unsocialized cat discover the safety of a home.

Feral cats or those raised in the wild, without real human contact, are often considered ‘impossible to tame’. In reality, most can learn to feel safe indoors, accept touch, and even seek affection — but their pace is unique. With small, consistent steps and lots of patience, the transformation can be extraordinary.

Adaptation begins in a confined space, not the whole house. A quiet room where the cat has a litter box, food, water, and a few hiding spots (a box, a bed, a low shelf) helps enormously. The small space reduces anxiety and gives it control over the environment, which is essential for a scared cat.

The first days are dedicated to getting used to human presence. No forced approaches, no attempts to touch. Sit in the room, read, speak softly — let it learn that the human does not represent a danger. This is how trust begins.

Food creates a strong positive association. At first, the cat will eat only when you are not there. Then it will eat in your presence, and over time it will get closer and closer. You can gradually shorten the distance between you and the bowl, letting the cat dictate the pace.

A wand or a long toy can help it relax in your presence without feeling exposed. Play is one of the safest ways for cats to start expressing themselves naturally and approaching humans.

Feral cats need to take control of their own adaptation process. Do not touch it until it comes to you. You will notice small signs of progress: it comes out of hiding more often, stays in plain sight, blinks slowly, stretches relaxed in your presence. These are its steps, and you just provide the right framework.

Hissing, swatting, staying flat to the floor, or hiding are not ‘aggression’, but fear. Over time, these reactions transform into much gentler ones. Slow blinking, voluntary approach, or playing in your presence indicate that the process is working.

For a feral cat, touch is a huge step. Start by approaching your hand slowly, without touching it. Allow it to smell it and withdraw. Repeat. Initial touches should be short, on the cheeks or forehead, areas where cats tolerate contact best.

Later, get it accustomed to the carrier: leave it in the room, put familiar blankets in it, feed it at the entrance. This makes vet visits much easier.

Feral cats can coexist with other cats, but they must never be introduced directly. The process must be gradual and only after complete acceptance of the human:

• Start with scent swapping (blankets, towels);
• Then allow them to observe each other through a cracked door or mesh;
• Short, supervised meetings come only when both are relaxed.

Sudden interactions can cause major regression — that is why the pace must be slow and very controlled.

There are no ‘lost’ cats, only cats that need more time. I have seen cats that stayed under the bed for three months and now ask for pets. I have seen cats that couldn’t be touched and now sleep on their human’s chest. Adaptation is possible — if their pace is respected.

The moment a feral cat comes towards you for the first time, touches you with its nose, or purrs — is one of the most profound gifts an animal can offer. Trust earned, not given from the start, has a unique beauty.

Feral cats are not ‘impossible cases’. They are just cats that have not yet known the safety of a home. With gentleness, space, consistency, and patience, almost any cat can come to live peacefully and beautifully indoors — and even become a surprisingly affectionate companion.

Mystery, grace, and centuries of misunderstood magic hide within the gaze of a black cat.

For generations, black cats have been trapped in an unfortunate myth — considered by some as harbingers of bad luck or symbols of the unknown.

These ideas, born of superstition, have clung to our modern world and persist to this day.

In shelters around the world, black cats often wait longer to be adopted than those of other colors. Some people still hesitate, influenced by stories passed down from generation to generation.

But the truth is simple: black cats do not bring bad luck — they are loving, loyal, and wonderful.

It is time to restore the truth: black cats are not bad omens. In fact, throughout history and in many cultures, they have been symbols of protection, prosperity, and luck.

In Ancient Egypt, cats were sacred protectors of homes and symbols of grace, fertility, and divine balance.

The Egyptians worshipped two sister goddesses — Sekhmet and Bastet — each embodying a different side of feline power.

Sekhmet, the lioness-headed goddess, was the powerful protector — a symbol of destructive yet healing solar energy, the defender of order and the Pharaoh. Her name meant “The Powerful One”.

Bastet, her gentle counterpart, evolved from a lioness into a domestic cat — protector of the home, joy, and motherhood. Together, they represented strength and tenderness, fire and grace, showing that the cat was both a warrior and a symbol of maternal love.

To harm or kill a cat — especially a black one — was an offense to the gods. Families who had black cats believed they brought prosperity, harmony, and divine protection.

Egyptian art often depicted black cats lying under chairs or alongside women, a sign of peace, beauty, and luck.

In this early civilization, the black cat was not a symbol of darkness, but of light — a living reflection of the sacred balance between power and gentleness.

Throughout centuries and continents, black cats have been friends, protectors, and symbols of harmony — beings whose silent magic unites the human soul with the mysteries of nature.

When you adopt a black cat, you do more than offer it a home — you break a myth. You show the world that kindness, not superstition, should guide our choices.

Those who adopt black cats often discover that:

• They are calm, attentive, and affectionate;
• Their fur shines in the sunlight with reflections of bronze and blue;
• They bring a sense of peace and quiet magic to any home;
• Every adoption writes a new story — one where love conquers fear.

Give a black cat a chance to have a loving home.

Post photos and stories about black cats on social media.

Use tags like #BlackCatsOrLuckyCats or #AdoptDontShop

Tell others that color has nothing to do with personality or luck.

Support shelters that fight superstitions and promote the adoption of all cats equally.

A black cat crossing your path does not bring bad luck — but a blessing.

It is a graceful reminder that magic still exists in the world — and lives quietly in the purr of a rescued cat.

All cats deserve love, safety, and a family.

What this behavior means and why it is so important in the feline world.

If you have noticed that your cat rubs its cheeks against furniture, corners, doors, your legs, or even other animals, know that this gesture is not accidental. For cats, cheek rubbing against objects is one of the most important forms of communication. This is how they express emotions, safety, and belonging to the space they live in.

On their cheeks and the sides of their heads, cats have scent glands that produce pheromones — substances imperceptible to us, but essential for communication between cats.

When rubbing its cheeks against an object, the cat leaves its pheromones there, saying in its own way: “This place belongs to me. I feel safe here.”

For the cat, the environment thus becomes predictable, familiar, and soothing.

Touching its cheeks against your legs or hands is a deeply affectionate gesture. Through this behavior, the cat mixes its scent with yours and includes you in its “social group”.

In feline language, this means: “You are part of my family. I feel safe with you.”

Sometimes, after doing this, it looks at you, purrs, or turns around for more petting — a clear sign of affection and attachment.

This gesture can also act as a way to “whisper” something to you:

• That it wants interaction;
• That it enjoys your presence;
• That it wants you to follow it to a certain place;
• That it is mealtime and it wants to politely remind you.

Cats communicate subtly, and cheek rubbing is one of the most elegant ways they ask for something.

To us, it seems like a small gesture, but for them, it is a complete language — a combination of safety, belonging, affection, and territorial communication. Next time your cat rubs its cheeks against you, know that you are receiving one of the most sincere gestures of trust it can offer.

Although normal, if the cat rubs its cheeks against objects in a very repetitive or agitated way, it may be a sign that:

• The environment is too stimulating or stressful;
• It feels insecure;
• It is trying to regain control over the territory;
• There is a local dermatological problem.

In such cases, a veterinary or behavioral evaluation may be useful.

If the rubbing is caused by pain, the treatment completely resolves the behavior.

If the doctor excludes a physical cause, then the behavior is most likely related to stress, the need for safety, or territorial over-marking.

In such cases, help comes through adjustments in environment and routine:

Whether it is a physical or emotional problem, the cat is always showing us something — our role is just to listen.

Dental health in cats: what we need to know, what diseases occur, and how we can prevent them.

Cat dental health is often overlooked, although oral problems are among the most frequent feline diseases. Many cats can suffer in silence for years, compensating for pain and avoiding showing discomfort — a natural behavior for a ‘hunter’ that is also ‘prey’.

For this reason, regular dental check-ups are essential to keep them healthy and prevent chronic suffering.

An adult cat has 30 teeth adapted for grasping and tearing, not for prolonged chewing. The enamel, dentin, dental pulp, and alveolar bone work together as a delicate system. Any inflammation in the gums or root causes intense pain — even if the cat doesn’t show it.

Periodontal disease begins with the accumulation of bacterial plaque, which turns into tartar. Gums become inflamed (gingivitis), then the structures supporting the tooth begin to deteriorate.

Stages of the disease:

• Gingivitis: redness, inflammation — reversible if treated in time.
• Periodontitis: damage to ligaments and bone; tooth mobility; chronic pain.

Signs can include bad breath, excessive drooling, bleeding, or difficulty eating.

Untreated, periodontal disease can affect internal organs (liver, kidneys, heart).

Tooth resorption is one of the most painful feline conditions and often goes unnoticed by the naked eye. In this disease, the hard structures of the tooth begin to dissolve, exposing the extremely sensitive dental pulp.

There are several types (1, 2, and 3), and a correct diagnosis is made only through dental X-rays. The recommended treatment is extraction of the affected tooth — there is no conservative treatment.

Cats with FORL may continue to eat normally, even with severe pain, making the disease hard to detect without investigations.

Stomatitis is an intense inflammatory reaction in the gums and oral mucosa. It can be associated with viral infections (FCV, FIV), periodontal disease, or an exaggerated immune reaction.

Signs include: profuse drooling, strong halitosis, pain when swallowing, refusal of food, weight loss.

Treatment can include scaling, anti-inflammatories, immunomodulation, and, in severe cases, extensive dental extractions (almost all teeth), a procedure that often leads to a major improvement in quality of life.

A real dental evaluation cannot be done ‘awake’, because:

• Over 60% of the tooth structure is under the gum;
• Many diseases (especially FORL) are NOT visible during a physical exam;
• Teeth can only be properly cleaned and fully examined under anesthesia.

A complete evaluation includes: oral consult, full-mouth dental X-rays, ultrasonic scaling, polishing, root and bone evaluation.

Without X-rays, most problems remain undiagnosed.

Treatment depends on the condition and may include:

• Professional scaling;
• Dental extractions when necessary;
• Analgesics and anti-inflammatories;
• Antibiotic treatment only in case of infection (not preventively!);
• Specific therapy for stomatitis or associated diseases.

Cats recover surprisingly well after extractions — many owners notice they eat better than before, because the pain disappears.

Prevention starts at home and continues at the vet.

At home, it helps to use:

• Regular brushing (with cat toothpaste);
• Dental toys;
• Gels or solutions recommended by the vet.

At the doctor:

• Periodic check-ups;
• Scaling every 1–2 years, depending on age and predispositions;
• Regular dental X-rays.

Senior cats need more frequent monitoring.

Dental health is not a whim — it is essential for a cat’s quality of life. Dental problems are common, painful, and often invisible, but with prevention and early intervention, cats can live comfortably and pain-free.

A healthy mouth means a happy, energetic, and calm cat.

Contrary to myths, cats do not run for miles. If they are lost:

• Indoor cats usually stay within 10–50 meters of the disappearance site.
• Outdoor cats may move a bit further, but still tend to stay nearby.

The reason? They hide immediately, in a dark, hard-to-reach, and very close place.

Most common hiding spots: under cars, in basements, in garages, in gardens and dense bushes, in sheds, under balconies, technical spaces, pipes, open trash chutes.

Search with a flashlight in the evening, at night, and early morning, when cats are more active and their eyes shine in the light.

Scared cats do not come when called, but the owner’s voice can make them move or make a sound. This helps you locate it. Say its name quietly, repeatedly, and make familiar sounds (wet food can, pouch, or treats).

Cats are guided enormously by scent, and a familiar object attracts them toward home. You can leave: worn clothes, its blanket, the litter box (only in safe areas, not in front of the stairs), the carrier.

Familiar scents reduce fear and can guide them back.

Most cats cannot get out on their own from the place they enter. Therefore, it is vital to:

• Ask neighbors to check garages, cellars, sheds and keep an eye out – leave your contact phone number;
• Ask for access to basements or technical spaces;
• Post in the apartment building or neighborhood group;
• In apartment buildings, check trash chutes and technical rooms, as well as hallways and more secluded places, such as behind flowers, furniture stored in the hallway, etc.

A trapped cat does not meow constantly — some stay completely silent out of fear.

Include:

• Clear photos;
• Exact area;
• Large and visible phone number;
• Behavior: „scared / gentle / does not let itself be caught”.

Announce on:

• Local lost animal groups;
• Neighborhood groups;
• At veterinarians;
• On the street, in the area of disappearance.

Do not post on only one group — wide distribution increases the chances.

This is the method used by NGOs and veterinarians. Panicked cats will not let themselves be picked up, even if they are gentle at home.

The cage should be placed:

• In a secluded spot;
• With very smelly food (tuna, sardines, pate);
• And checked frequently.

It works especially at night.

Cats have been recovered after days, weeks, and even years.

Especially indoor ones have a strong „freeze” instinct — they stay hidden until they feel safe.

Perseverance is key. Even if you don’t see it, it is close by.

Losing a cat is a difficult emotional moment, but with the right steps and quick action, recovery chances are very high. Your cat is probably not far — just scared and hidden.

The most important thing is:

• To search close by, thoroughly and repeatedly;
• To notify the community;
• To use human-grade capture if necessary;
• To not give up.

Cats want to return home. We just have to guide them to safety.

Why bathing is not just unnecessary, but sometimes even harmful for them.

Many people believe that cats must be bathed to stay clean, but the truth is that they are among the most efficient animals when it comes to self-grooming. They clean their fur themselves, naturally, using a complex licking ritual that keeps their skin healthy and their coat in impeccable condition.

Cats spend as much as half of their time grooming. Through this ritual, they remove dirt, distribute the skin’s natural oils, and regulate their body temperature. When we wash them with water and shampoo, we strip away these essential oils, which can lead to dry skin, itching, and a dull coat.

Furthermore, for most cats, a bath is an intensely stressful experience. They are not used to water, noise, and excessive handling. The sensation of being held in an uncontrolled environment can frighten them, and repeated stress affects their emotional health. Additionally, drying them completely is difficult, especially for cats with thick fur, increasing the risk of colds or skin irritation.

In reality, there are very few situations where a cat needs a bath. Generally, a bath becomes necessary only in cases of:

• Contamination with toxic substances (oil, paint, gasoline, adhesive);
• Severe parasite infestation (when a veterinarian recommends a special shampoo);
• Dermatitis or conditions treated EXCLUSIVELY through therapeutic baths;
• Very old, obese, or disabled cats that can no longer groom themselves.

In any other case, there are much gentler and safer solutions: special pet wipes, dry shampoo, waterless foam, and regular brushing. All of these clean effectively without damaging the skin’s natural barrier.

Licking isn’t just about cleanliness — it is their way of calming down, reducing anxiety, and maintaining their emotional balance. Bathing interrupts this natural ritual and can disrupt their well-being.

Not bathing a cat does not mean a lack of care. It means respect for its natural rhythm, its biology, and its real needs. Cats are, by nature, clean — and our role is simply to offer support, not to intervene unnecessarily.

When it comes to our cats’ freedom, many voices argue that indoor life robs them of their adventurous spirit. But is that really the case?

Let’s explore together the realities that these adventure-loving beings face when the “outdoors” is no longer just a playground, but a landscape full of uncertainties and unexpected dangers.

An indoor cat can live a long and prosperous life, spanning 15–20 years, while a cat that spends its time outdoors faces challenges that can shorten its life to a maximum of 4 years. Therefore, the choice to keep a cat indoors is not about restricting freedom, but about protecting and extending its life.

Here are a few reasons why it is safer for cats to stay indoors:

• The risk of being stolen or injured is eliminated;
• They are protected from parasites and diseases;
• They avoid hidden dangers in enclosed spaces or exposure to extreme temperatures;
• They are not exposed to vehicle traffic or malicious individuals;/li>
• They avoid altercations with other cats or wild animals.

For those who fear that their cats will lose the joy of exploration and hunting, there are creative solutions. Indoor spaces can be adapted to provide cats with opportunities to play and burn energy, replicating nature’s experiences in a controlled way.

By choosing to keep cats indoors, we are not depriving them of freedom; we are offering them a safe and loving sanctuary, giving them a chance at a long and high-quality life. Indoors, they can lead a healthy life, free from the fears and dangers of the outside world.

Together, we can create an environment where our cats live happily, keeping their spirit alive and their curiosity satisfied—all within the safety of our home.

A small gesture, a big impact: ear-tipping for spayed/neutered community cats or those with outdoor access.

On the streets of our cities and villages, stray cats live their lives in a constant struggle for survival. Spaying and neutering is the most humane solution to give them a chance at a better life. But how can we identify those cats that have already been sterilized? The answer is simple and effective: „ear-tipping”!

In Romania, this practice is used in sterilization campaigns by veterinary teams. Ear-tipping is a painless procedure, performed under anesthesia during the sterilization surgery, resulting in no complications. However, in our country, the necessity and benefits of this method are not yet fully recognized, even though it is already a common practice internationally.

It is essential to educate the public, volunteers, and medical professionals about the importance of marking community cats as an indicator of sterilization.

As a painless procedure performed under general anesthesia, it not only avoids affecting the cats’ appearance but also guarantees them a safer life.

This visible mark is a symbol of hope and community care for these innocent souls. Through ear-tipping, we avoid the risk of repeated anesthesia and unnecessary surgical interventions, as well as the animal’s stress caused by trapping and transport to clinics.

Ear-tipping is a clear sign that the cat has been sterilized and will no longer contribute to the uncontrolled growth of the stray animal population.

It is vital to realize the importance of this practice and to promote it. Not only does it protect cats from additional risks, but it also helps streamline efforts to manage animal populations. A tipped ear doesn’t just mean a sterilized cat; it represents an animal saved from an endless cycle of reproduction and suffering.

When you see a cat with a tipped ear, you know it has been given a chance at a longer and healthier life. You can be certain that, through sterilization, it will no longer bring more helpless souls into the world. It is a sign of our collective compassion and commitment to a better world for all living beings.

Every tipped ear is a success story in our fight for a better future!

A few weeks ago, we asked you how you proceed when you encounter an injured cat on the street.
Today, we are sharing the course of action we suggest and support in such cases.
First of all, we must analyze the severity of the situation and the context in which it occurs:

If the animal is in a public space and its condition is serious, it clearly must be picked up and taken to an emergency veterinary clinic. If time permits, it would be ideal to take a few photos or short videos to use later, but we will return to this part shortly.

If the animal is on private property, such as someone’s yard, or in an inaccessible space (drain, tree, balcony), it is recommended to contact the police at 112 and report the issue. The police and/or firefighters are required to intervene. Once again, photos and videos capturing the animal will be very useful later, no matter how distressed you may feel.

Before we get to the next step, it is important to understand that its life depends on you and the effort you are willing to put in to save it.

Once the animal arrives at the clinic, you might think the situation is resolved, but now only the first part of the rescue action is over.

Moving forward, regardless of the rescue context, it is advisable to submit a written report via email to the Animal Police and the local City Hall to bring the situation to their attention (you can find contact details on Google with a simple search, depending on the locality). Here, in addition to the detailed story of the case, you will add the videos and photos taken previously and your contact details. Such actions, although they may seem belated or “pointless,” are extremely important for making authorities aware of the countless cases of animals in danger around us and, in the long term, we hope they will be motivated to take concrete prevention and management measures.

Now that we’ve done our civic duty, we can focus on the next issue: how do we pay for the pet’s medical care costs at the clinic? Well, just like us, you will start using various methods on social media and beyond, making posts and even organizing fundraisers. Here, the photos and videos from before, along with those from the hospitalization period and the invoices, will play a crucial role once again. Through numerous posts explaining the situation and its severity, shared across as many animal-oriented groups as possible, you will surely succeed in raising, if not the full amount, at least part of the sum for paying the bills.

However, posts are not just for paying bills; once the cat is healed and the effort to help it has been made, you will surely want to ensure it never ends up in the same tragic situation again. Therefore, through more posts, starting even while the animal is hospitalized, you must begin searching for either adoption or temporary placement (foster care)—that is, if you don’t wish to give it a forever home yourself. You must also understand that from now on, this little soul’s life is entirely in your hands and, practically, you are the only ones capable of changing its destiny for the better. Thus, adoption conditions can be set so that you, first and foremost, are satisfied with the life the pet will have from now on (you can find adoption contract templates in groups or on Google).

This process of finding placement or adopters can take time, depending on the visibility of the posts, the conditions imposed, and many other factors, so you must be prepared to host the pet yourselves for a while if necessary. This might be seen as an inconvenience and can run into numerous obstacles, such as: “the landlord doesn’t allow pets,” “I already have other animals in the house,” or “I have never cared for an animal before.” Most of the time, any of these obstacles can be overcome once we think of all the effort put in up to that point, primarily because all these reasons can have a solution. If space doesn’t permit, give the animal at least a pantry or a bathroom; if even that isn’t possible, ask an association or a clinic for a metal crate or other suggestions, or ask your friends or acquaintances if they want to help.

This is, in broad terms, the path we must follow when we want to help an animal. This is what rescue work entails; this is what our work is all about.

Yes, it is a lengthy process, requiring effort, determination, commitment, and patience, but nothing compares to the feeling of inner satisfaction you feel once the cat has reached its new family. There is a moment when you look back at the first photos taken during the rescue and realize not only that it is alive because of you, but that the animal’s life has taken a remarkably happy turn solely because of you and those who stood by you every step of the way!

We want to see you getting involved and we are always here to support you, with advice or with the medical costs, if we can afford it, or even with a shoulder to cry on, because we fully understand the emotional strain that anyone who wants to help goes through.

We dream of a world in which each of us gets involved, we dream of a better world that only together we can create, one by one, cat by cat!

We often meet people who want to pamper their cats with something “special”. But did you know that a cat’s digestive system is very different from ours? Cats are obligate carnivores, which means their bodies are designed to obtain essential nutrients primarily from meat. Some foods that seem healthy for humans can, in fact, be very dangerous for cats.

Cats are obligate carnivores. This means that approximately 90–95% of their diet must come from animal-based proteins and fats.

Their bodies are adapted to process meat – not grains, sugar, or vegetables. Unlike humans or dogs, cats:

• cannot produce certain essential nutrients on their own,
• need a high protein, moderate fat, and minimal carbohydrate intake,
• have a digestive system adapted for hunting small prey (mice, birds, insects).

Essential nutrients found only in animal products:

• Taurine – vital for the heart, vision, and reproduction.
• Vitamin A – cats cannot convert it from plants; they get it only from meat.
• Arachidonic acid – essential for healthy skin and coat.
• Quality protein – for energy and maintaining muscle mass.

Without these nutrients, cats can quickly develop serious health problems: loss of vision, heart disease, liver damage, or general weakness. That’s why meat (chicken, beef, rabbit, lamb, turkey, fish, etc.) must be the core ingredient in any complete and balanced cat food.

Have you ever noticed canned food or pouches for cats that mention pumpkin, cranberries, psyllium, tuna, chicken broth, carrot, or zucchini?

You may have wondered: Why would a cat eat something like that if it’s a carnivore? Although most of the diet must come from meat, small portions of vegetables, fruit, or fiber can be useful for digestion, hydration, or variety.

On labels you can see different types of meat: chicken, beef, lamb, rabbit, duck, game, fish. It’s not just marketing – it’s nutritional science. Each type of meat offers different combinations of amino acids, fats, and minerals.

• Chicken / turkey – lean meat, easy to digest.
• Beef / lamb – rich in iron and zinc.
• Rabbit / duck – ideal for sensitive or allergic cats.
• Fish (salmon, sardines, trout, tuna) – adds Omega-3 fatty acids, good for skin and coat.

• Always boiled or steamed, without salt, oil, or seasoning.
• Cooked bones can splinter – never offer them.
• Raw meat only on a veterinarian’s recommendation (risk of bacteria).
• It’s recommended to rotate meat types to avoid intolerances.

• 1–2 tablespoons of cooked meat, a few times per week, as an addition to a complete food.
• It does not replace main meals.
• Boiled chicken breast, shredded, is an excellent and safe treat.

• Chicken liver – rich in vitamin A and iron, but in small amounts. Too much can cause toxicity.
• Chicken heart and gizzard – excellent sources of taurine, zinc, and B vitamins.
• Kidneys – contain useful minerals, but must be well boiled.

Amount: a teaspoon as a reward, or up to 10% of the diet if the rest is complete food.

• Cats love fish – and for good reason: it’s rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, which support the health of the skin, coat, and joints.
• Recommended types: salmon, sardines, tuna (for cats only), trout, cod.
• How to serve: cooked, without oil or seasoning.

To avoid:

• Raw fish (contains thiaminase – destroys vitamin B1).
• Salted or smoked fish or canned fish for humans.
• Too much tuna (possible heavy metal content).

How often?

• Rotate fish species and occasionally offer a “fish-free week”.
• “Fish is wonderful for cats – but only when it’s part of a varied diet.”
• Fish can make up a maximum of 25–30% of the total diet.
• Combine it with other meat types (chicken, beef, lamb).
• Avoid: raw, salted, smoked fish, fish preserved for humans, excessive tuna.

Instead of human food scraps, try these safe and nutritious options:

• Small pieces of boiled chicken or turkey;
• A teaspoon of plain pumpkin puree;
• Pureed carrot, green beans, or cooked sweet potato;
• A few flakes of cooked salmon;
• Freeze-dried meat treats (100% single ingredient);
• Cat grass or catnip for fun.

These foods should never be given — even small amounts can be harmful or fatal:

If your cat has eaten something unusual or shows symptoms like vomiting, drooling, weakness, or refusing food – call your veterinarian immediately.
Cats are small and metabolize toxins much faster than humans, and quick intervention can save lives.

On cat food labels you may see two terms: complete food and complementary (supplementary) food. They seem similar, but the difference is very important. In short:

Main meal. Provides all nutrients needed daily – proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, taurine. Can be offered as the only food source.

Treat / topper. A treat or supplement with high meat content, but without all required nutrients. Combine with complete food or offer occasionally.

Although complementary food may contain nice pieces of meat or fish, it does not have essential vitamins and minerals. It can be added on top of complete food, but it can never replace it.

If all these details seem complicated, you’re right: feline nutrition is complex!

The safest choice is to offer complete and balanced food from trusted manufacturers, who formulate recipes under veterinary supervision.
This way, your cat gets all the benefits – without risks.

So yes — it’s possible to see pumpkin, blueberries, cranberries, chicken broth, or fish mentioned on cat food labels or recommended by veterinarians online — and now you know why.
Feeding your cat correctly is one of the best forms of affection.

Remember: “If it isn’t made for cats — always check before offering.” Each of these ingredients can be beneficial, but only in the right proportions.

With balance, care, and awareness, any cat can have a long, healthy, and happy life. A healthy cat needs a complete, meat-based diet, occasionally enriched with safe vegetables, fruit, or fish. The benefits appear only when they are scientifically balanced with the right nutrients and proportions.
If you want to add them yourself, do it with caution, rarely, and in small portions.

Cats are masters at hiding their suffering. In nature, a sick animal becomes vulnerable, which is why today’s domestic cat instinctively masks pain or discomfort.

This means that when you observe a change in behavior, appetite, or posture, it is essential to take it seriously. Sometimes, a few hours can make the difference between life and death.

Could be

Reaction to heat, stress, or intense play – but if it persists, it may indicate more serious problems.

What to do

Could be

Sign of shock, organ failure, severe anemia, hypothermia, intoxication. The cat does not respond, does not get up, does not eat.

What to do

Could be

Obstruction, pancreatitis, intoxication, parasites, or foreign body. Drooling, nausea, weakness also appear.

What to do

Could be

What to do

From the nose, gums, rectum, or from wounds that won’t stop.

Could be

Coagulation disorders, intoxications (e.g., rodent poison), or internal trauma.

What to do

Could be

Sign of neurological condition, brain trauma, or intoxication.

What to do

Plants (e.g., lilies), chocolate, onion, paracetamol, cleaning products, human medicines.

What to do

The cat cries, avoids touch, hides, walks abnormally, trembles.

What to do

Any sudden and unexplained change in your cat’s behavior can signal a serious problem. By being attentive to subtle signs and acting quickly, you can save your furry companion’s life.

Always keep an eye on details. Better a “false” visit to the vet than a delayed reaction.

Over time, arguments against cat sterilization have accumulated, often built on an idyllic image of kittens alongside their mother in a perfect environment. Realities are, unfortunately, different: thousands of unwanted kittens end up in the care of NGOs, on the streets, or are abandoned in dramatic conditions annually. Sterilization is, in this context, an act of responsibility and empathy.

Reproduction in cats is an instinctive process, not an act of pleasure. Females in heat are often agitated, restless, and vulnerable, and the act itself is often painful and traumatic. The “fun” invoked by people is a human projection—cats do not live with the desire to have kittens, but merely respond to a short-term biological impulse.

Even with the best intentions, kittens often end up in unprepared families, left unsterilized, and quickly contribute to cat overpopulation. Statistics show that a single pair of unsterilized cats can generate up to 420,000 descendants in just 7 years. The sad reality is that most of these kittens will not find a safe home, and 80% do not even reach their first year of life, perishing due to disease, starvation, or accidents.

Currently, sterilization is a standard intervention, performed under safe conditions, with adequate anesthesia and analgesia. Recovery is rapid—most cats return to normal behavior within 24–48 hours. The benefits for health and emotional balance far outweigh the temporary postoperative discomfort.

Sterilization can slightly modify metabolism, but it does not automatically determine weight gain. Sterilized cats need fewer calories, but with an adapted diet and daily physical stimulation, they will remain healthy and supple. Sedentariness and excessive food are the true risk factors.

Even exclusively indoor cats benefit from sterilization. Unsterilized females can suffer from pyometra (a serious, often fatal uterine infection), mammary tumors, or ovarian cysts. Males can become aggressive, mark territory, and are affected by hormonal stress. Sterilization prevents all of this.

There is no medical benefit in letting a cat have a “litter” before sterilization. On the contrary: early sterilization (around the age of 6-9 months) drastically reduces the risk of mammary cancer and eliminates the risk of pyometra.

Letting animals reproduce freely is indeed natural—but natural is also the suffering, starvation, and death of abandoned kittens. Nature does not offer protection or comfort. Our role, as humans, is to intervene ethically, to reduce unnecessary suffering.

A cat’s personality is not determined by sex hormones. On the contrary, after sterilization, most become more balanced, calmer, and more affectionate. Territorial marking behaviors, excessive vocalizations, and aggression determined by sexual rivalry disappear.

All cats are special—but that doesn’t mean we must breed them. Cats do not develop a deep emotional relationship with their own kittens, and their “legacy” is not passed down through reproduction. If you want to honor your cat’s uniqueness, offer her a long and healthy life, not an unnecessary pregnancy.

We dismantle myths, but above all, we care. Sterilization is NOT an act of cruelty, but one of compassion, responsibility, and long-term vision. It is a small gesture that saves hundreds of lives. By sterilizing, you do not only do good for your cat. Faci un bine comunității. You do good for the community. And you change the world a little bit more.

Choose to be part of the change. Choose responsibly. Choose to sterilize.

We often hear people say they feed their pets food bought from regular shops or supermarkets. Let’s explore why this is not recommended by specialists and what risks you may be exposing your pet to if you don’t pay attention to the ingredients:

Low ingredient quality: Pet food sold in supermarkets or corner shops often contains low-quality ingredients, such as meat from unknown sources or meat derivatives, fillers, and cheap grains.

Avoid vague labels with terms like “meat derivatives” and choose clear meat sources such as chicken, beef, or fish. Cats do not need grains in their diet, as these can be difficult to digest and may lead to allergies and digestive issues. Avoid labels that list wheat, corn, or other grains among the first ingredients.

Price doesn’t always reflect quality, and often more expensive products may contain lower quality ingredients than expected. Don’t skip reading the ingredient list — make an informed choice when buying food for your pets.

Additives and preservatives: Many supermarket products contain artificial additives and preservatives, which can be harmful to pets. Words like BHA, BHT, ethoxyquin, or artificial colours should raise red flags. These chemicals may cause allergies, food intolerances, and other health issues. Sugar has no nutritional value for pets and can contribute to obesity, diabetes, and other health problems, so it should not appear on the label. Similarly, excess salt can lead to high blood pressure and kidney issues.

Lack of expert advice: Supermarket staff are generally not trained in pet nutrition or animal health, making it difficult to find appropriate advice or products tailored to your pet’s specific needs.

We always warmly recommend choosing, whenever possible, specialised pet shops or vet clinics and pharmacies. These places offer high-quality products tailored to the nutritional needs of pets, with fibre-rich diets and certified-origin ingredients. Moreover, if the staff is knowledgeable, they can give reliable advice regarding your pet’s diet based on age, energy level, price/quality ratio, and other factors you might care about.

No matter where you buy food for your furry friend, it’s crucial to read the label carefully. Make sure the food you choose contains high-quality ingredients from safe sources and is suited to your pet’s specific needs.

Pets with kidney, gastrointestinal, liver, or urinary problems may require a special diet — and these are just a few examples. In such cases, your veterinarian is the go-to expert to help you find the right food that meets your pet’s individual health needs.

Be mindful of what you choose for your pets and always opt for the highest quality food! A proper diet is key to a long life without unpleasant medical surprises!

Think of bringing a cat home as the beginning of a joyful and affectionate new adventure — one guided by responsibility and respect! To ensure your new family member starts this new life successfully, we recommend carrying out some checks and preparations before their arrival.

The first and most important step is a visit to the vet. This initial check-up is essential to assess the cat’s health and identify any underlying conditions. The vet will perform a full physical examination during a routine consultation.

In addition, they may recommend specific rapid tests, including FIV and FeLV testing to detect viruses that affect the immune system, and tests for giardia, panleukopenia, and coronavirus if gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhoea or vomiting are present. The vet will also administer internal and external deworming treatments, followed by core vaccinations and the rabies vaccine at the appropriate time. All of this forms part of routine disease prevention in cats.

Ensure you are ready for all your cat’s basic needs. This includes a litter box with litter, food and water bowls, a cosy bed, and toys to stimulate both body and mind. Don’t forget to secure your windows with safety nets as a precaution. Creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment will help your cat feel welcomed and happy in their new home.

If you already have pets at home, it’s recommended to keep the new family member in quarantine for at least two weeks before introducing them. This is an important precaution to prevent disease transmission and allow the new cat to adapt to their new surroundings. During quarantine, make sure the new feline has their own litter box, food and water bowls, and a safe, comfortable resting area. Avoid sharing litter scoops, bowls, or leftover food with other pets, as these are common sources of cross-contamination.

When it’s time to introduce your cats, take a gradual and patient approach. Start by exchanging scents using towels or toys swapped between them. Then allow supervised interactions, without forcing contact.

Even if progress seems slow or if initial conflicts arise, trust that the animals will eventually find a way to coexist peacefully. As interactions become more positive, encourage joint play and exploration, but intervene if there are signs of stress or conflict. Be ready to offer separate spaces where each cat can retreat and feel safe, if needed.

The adjustment period varies by individual — in some cases, it may take 3–6 months. If you feel you need help with introductions, consider consulting a professional in animal behaviour.

Using synthetic feline pheromones, or calming herbs like valerian or catnip, may also help reduce tension and stress, and promote positive behaviour during the introduction phase.

Remember to always be patient and trust the process of adaptation. Each cat will react differently and require time to adjust to the other’s presence. With persistence, their relationship can grow into a deep, lasting companionship based on mutual respect and understanding.

In conclusion, regular vet visits during the early stages, along with proper preparation before bringing a cat home, are vital for their health and happiness. These steps will create the right environment for a smooth and successful integration into your family — helping you embark confidently on an exciting new journey with your purring companion!

As we enjoy the presence and companionship of cats in our homes, it is essential to be aware of some unexpected dangers that could threaten their health and safety.

Here are a few lesser-known yet truly important points we should all keep in mind:

Hair ties and household elastics, though small and seemingly harmless, can become life-threatening if ingested by your cat. These items can easily be swallowed and cause digestive issues or even intestinal blockages. It’s important to keep them out of your cat’s reach, even if your cat doesn’t usually show interest — their behaviour can be unpredictable when left unsupervised.

Candles and open flames are another risk to watch out for. A curious cat might approach a flame and, while playing, could cause a fire or suffer serious burns. Even singeing their whiskers, which may seem minor, can affect their balance and orientation. Always supervise or extinguish such sources of fire when not present.

Open windows can pose a significant danger, especially for curious cats who love to explore. Safety nets installed on windows can prevent accidental falls and protect cats from serious injury or even death. Not only unsupervised open windows but also tilted ones can trap a cat, risking spinal or limb injuries and increasing the chance of fatality.

Some human foods are toxic to cats, so sharing meals with them should be avoided unless you are well-informed. Dairy, chocolate, coffee, smoked meats, onions, garlic, grapes, avocado, and many others can cause digestive issues or severe poisoning. Cats should not be allowed access to human food, including leftovers. Harmful scraps include bones or packaging and casings from processed meats.

Houseplants and flower bouquets can cause immediate severe reactions and even death shortly after contact or ingestion.

So, before offering flowers or potted plants to families with cats, check their toxicity using trusted veterinary sources.

Loud noises like fireworks, speeding vehicles, or noisy construction sites can be extremely stressful for cats. During holidays with fireworks or street celebrations, it’s important to take extra precautions. Keep your cat indoors, close windows and doors, and play ambient music to help soothe them. If your cat is particularly sensitive or has heart issues, consult your vet about anxiety medications.

Incense sticks and air fresheners may release toxic compounds that can cause respiratory issues, vomiting, or other conditions in pets. Limit your cat’s exposure to these products and use safer alternatives for freshening your home. Cigarette smoke is especially toxic and harmful, causing severe respiratory conditions or even cancer.

Cleaning products can be hazardous to cats if ingested from treated surfaces or if they inhale the vapours in confined, unventilated spaces. Chemicals in these products can cause poisoning, digestive and respiratory irritation, itching, or severe allergies. Always store such products in cat-proof places and use non-toxic cleaning alternatives whenever possible.

When transporting your cat, it’s your responsibility to ensure the carrier or crate is intact and secure, preventing any chance of escape. Even if travelling by car, never let your cat roam freely inside. Such irresponsible actions risk the cat’s life (which could escape or fall in a split second) and endanger others if the driver is distracted or startled.

Caring for a cat involves much more than feeding and play. With a little attention to detail, you can ensure your home is a safe haven for all family members. We must stay aware of all potential risks, even the subtle ones, and take appropriate precautions to safeguard the health and safety of our feline friends. That’s why we encourage you to share this information with other cat lovers in your life!

If you’re a cat parent, you’ll definitely want to know how to keep your cat happy and active for as long as possible. Here are some useful tips to provide your cat with a friendly and engaging environment:

It’s recommended to remove toys from the room after a play session and store them safely — firstly, to maintain the cat’s interest in the toy, and secondly, to avoid leaving them unsupervised. Cats can swallow certain toy components (such as feathers, strings, plastic or fabric parts) and must be supervised to prevent such incidents.

Balconies and windowsills can become relaxing spots for sunbathing and observing the outdoors, as long as they are secured with special nets and the cat isn’t exposed to the risk of falling or running away. Toxic plants are another hazard that should be removed and replaced with non-toxic alternatives (more details in a separate article).

Cats love spending time with you, so it’s advisable to dedicate daily time for interactions, sharing energy together. This not only keeps them active but also strengthens your emotional bond.

The quality of your cat’s diet is crucial for their health. A balanced diet rich in essential nutrients supports healthy development, a shiny coat, and a strong immune system. High-quality food prevents digestive issues and nutrition-related diseases, ensuring your cat enjoys a longer, healthier life. Consult a vet for personalised dietary advice.

Routine vet visits are essential for your cat’s health, helping with early disease detection, health monitoring, dental care, and keeping vaccines and treatments up to date.

These visits also allow vets to provide tailored advice on nutrition and care, ensuring a long and healthy life for your cat.

Ensure your cat has access to a variety of toys, such as jingly balls or feather-and-string toys, to stimulate hunting instincts and keep their mind alert. Use interactive toys to encourage jumping and chasing.

You can also enhance your cat’s space by adding tall structures, shelves, and wall-mounted platforms to make the environment more engaging. Interactive puzzle toys are especially beneficial for encouraging natural instincts and require attention and dexterity to unlock the treat inside.

Physical activity is essential for felines; it aids digestion and reduces obesity risk by up to 30%, making it especially vital for indoor cats. Make sure your cat has frequent opportunities to play and move. After each active play session, cats can be rewarded with treats, creating a routine that encourages them to stay active and interested in toys and interaction.

Caring for a cat involves a mix of mental stimulation, physical activity, human interaction, and proper nutrition. With care and love, you’ll enjoy the company of a happy, healthy cat for many years to come. So grab those fishing rods and let the adventure begin!

Although the best scenario for both the mother cat and her kittens is to stay together, we have a few tips to give a chance to those less fortunate. If the mother is not around, their chances of survival are nil without our intervention.

First, ensure that the mother cat is not nearby. If the kittens are found discarded in packaging (bin bags, dumpsters, hung in trees, boxes, etc.), it can be assumed that they were abandoned and the mother is not present. However, if the kittens are found by the roadside, under a bush, in a cellar, or hidden away, it’s important to wait and see if the mother is around, in which case the whole family can be rescued.

Kittens begin to regulate their body temperature at 3–4 weeks of age. Without a heat source, they may die. A warm water bottle in their bedding is the most accessible solution. Warning: if the water is hot, wrap the bottle in a towel or blanket. If the kittens are wet, dry them thoroughly with a towel.

Next, check for larvae (in ears, nose, genital area, paw folds, or fur). Newborn kittens without a mother to groom them are targets for flies, and the danger posed by larvae increases by the hour. If infested, kittens must be cleaned under veterinary supervision. If it’s late or no vet is available, animal welfare groups can be a true lifesaver.

A newborn kitten must be fed every 2 hours, day and night. Kitten milk formula is the safest option. From our experience, Royal Canin milk gives the best results, followed by Brit or Lactadiet.

The greatest danger in feeding a newborn kitten is aspiration of milk into the lungs. Therefore, use a special kitten bottle with a properly sized nipple. Feed the kitten in a horizontal position, with paws down — NOT on its back and NOT upright — and monitor swallowing (gently touch under the chin to check for the swallowing reflex).

Prepare formula as per instructions on the packaging, ensuring it’s well mixed and served warm. Important: never feed a street-rescued kitten before warming it up, as the risk of choking is very high!

*If the kittens are found at night or outside veterinary/pharmacy hours and you cannot get milk or a special bottle, again, animal welfare groups are a good alternative for help.

Feeds can be spaced out as the kitten starts eating more. By week 2, feed every 3 hours; by week 3, every 4 hours including at night. From weeks 3–4, they can go 6–7 hours overnight without feeding, and weaning can begin.

For early weaning (3–4 weeks) when necessary, use a special kitten pâté. From our experience, Royal Canin’s “Mother and Babycat” mousse is the best option. It is very important not to feed any other wet food (not even kitten varieties) to help the digestive system adjust and avoid complications. At first, offer small tastes at each meal and gradually transition from milk to pâté. After 6 weeks of age, you can introduce other wet and even dry kitten foods.

Kittens cannot relieve themselves without help and must be stimulated. For abandoned kittens, you’ll need to do this using toilet paper, cotton pads, or soft, fragrance-free baby wipes to prevent irritation. Stimulate before and after each feed. If they soil themselves, clean them with a baby wipe and replace their bedding. Their environment, skin, and fur should always be dry and clean.

With dedication, attention, and perseverance, raising a kitten is an experience anyone can take on. ‘The first time is the hardest,’ but with the right steps, this journey becomes a delightful experience from the kitten’s first days to adulthood.

Cats are naturally curious, which means they may come into contact—accidentally or not—with household plants. The concern here is that some plants can be potentially dangerous to their health, and a few can even cause death within just a few hours of ingestion.

To prevent poisoning, it’s important to consider the cat’s natural curiosity and take measures to protect them!

This guide provides a summary of plants that are risky for cats, the typical symptoms of poisoning, and necessary first aid measures. It also offers tips to avoid accidents and create a safer environment for our feline companions.

Knowing this information is essential for any responsible cat owner.

Symptoms: vomiting, diarrhoea, excessive drooling, breathing difficulties, lethargy, loss of appetite, allergic reactions, seizures, coma.

Onset time: may be immediate or occur several hours later, depending on the plant ingested.

Identify the issue: observe symptoms and the plant involved. Take a photo of the plant and show it to your vet.

First aid: remove any plant remnants from the cat’s mouth and contact your vet.

Treatment: do not induce vomiting; follow the vet’s instructions carefully.

Education: familiarise yourself with toxic plants.

Creating a safe environment: remove toxic plants or limit your cat’s access to them.

It is vital to consult a veterinarian about the plants in your home and use apps to identify unknown species. Monitor your cat’s behavior and act promptly if you suspect poisoning!
