🐾 Senior Cat Care
Because cats don’t act their age — until they do. We’re here to help them thrive through their golden years.
🧶 Proactive, Gentle Care for Cats Age 8 and Up
Just like people, cats experience physical and behavioral changes as they age.
Even healthy senior cats may develop conditions that progress quietly at first.
At Allentown Cat Clinic, we specialize in catching these subtle shifts early—keeping your cat feeling their best for as long as possible.
🐾 Why Senior Care Matters
- Cats age approximately 5 human years for every 1 feline year
- Health issues often progress without obvious symptoms
- We recommend wellness exams every 6 months starting at age 8
- Regular checkups help us monitor for early signs of illness, pain, and age-related changes
- Early detection allows for earlier, more effective treatment
- Ongoing guidance supports your cat’s comfort, mobility, and quality of life
🐾 What We Evaluate and Recommend at Senior Visits
- Thorough nose-to-tail physical examination
- Vital signs assessment (heart rate, breathing, body temperature)
- Weight, body condition, and nutritional evaluation
- Dental check for decay, inflammation, or hidden pain
- Behavior and activity level discussion
- Recommendations for screening tests (bloodwork, urinalysis, blood pressure, thyroid testing)
- Pain management or joint support options as needed
- Review of medication safety and supplement use
- Discussion of home adjustments (easy-access litter boxes, ramps, night lights) to support aging needs
🐾 Common Signs of Age-Related Changes
- Sleeping more than usual
- Difficulty jumping, stiffness, or limping
- Weight loss or muscle wasting
- Increased thirst or urination
- Bad breath or mouth discomfort
- Changes in appetite, coat condition, or grooming habits
- Increased vocalization or nighttime activity
- Litter box issues or accidents
- Sudden behavior shifts (more clingy, confused, withdrawn)
- Changes in vision, hearing, or sense of smell
