Since 2023, Dr. Diehl and support staff at Olde Towne Animal Hospital have sought to achieve the highest standards of veterinary medicine. We feel that cats are part of the family, yours and ours.
We Support Every Stage Of Your Cat's Life
As your feline friend grows, he or she will move through six distinct stages of life:
- Kitten: 0—6 months
- Junior: 7 months—2 years
- Prime: 3—6 years
- Mature: 7—10 years
- Senior: 11—14 years
- Geriatric: 15+ years
Naturally, as a cat grows and progresses through life, he or she will undergo physiological changes and face a variety of life events that will require care and attention. From kitten care to geriatric cat medicine, consistent, preventive care can make all the difference in the quality of life of your cat. Ultimately, your cat's health will impact your relationship with him or her.
Cats are very good at hiding illness. In fact, most cats will simply become less active and less interactive when very ill. Any signs of illness that a cat may show will be subtle. Therefore, any change in their behavior should warrant consideration of illness. For example, you may find that your cats usual routine of greeting you at the door when you get home from work is disrupted. This may be an indication that your cat might not feel the best. Because the signs of cat illness are so slight, if you should notice any obvious changes in behavior please call our office.
