Before you bring your cat home, you’ll need to think about getting them prepared for the outside world. All cats adopted from Cats Protection will have received a mandatory level of veterinary care, including:
- a health check carried out by a veterinary surgeon
- treatment against fleas and worms
- at least one vaccination against cat flu and feline enteritis
- neutering, if old enough
- a microchip for all cats over 12 weeks of age
- a period of pet insurance (each cat rehomed by Cats Protection will include the option of four weeks’ free Petplan insurance)
If you’ve adopted your cat from elsewhere, these are all things you’ll need to think about. Vaccinations, microchipping and neutering are particularly important.
Signing up with a vet
Registering with a vet is very important and with many practices to choose from, it can be difficult to know which one to pick. Follow our advice on how to pick the right vet practice for you and your pet.

Please note this was an informational research project to educate a friend & a new parent for proper senior cat care & adoption. I did not write most of this material, only gathered & now sharing it to help other cat parents.
