If you have a pet care or behavioral question, please consult your veterinarian. We have provided some helpful links below too for quick education on many of the common issues pet guardians encounter.

Litterbox Problems
There are many common problems involving the litterbox—and most can be solved! Here are some handy tips:
• Cats need enough boxes: rule is 1 litterbox per cat, plus 1
• Cats do not like to use dirty litterboxes
• Many cats do not like scented litter or when you change litter brands (if you do, do it gradually by mixing old with new)
• Do not change the location of the litterboxes
• If problems persist, a health issue could be behind your kitty not using the box; please consult your veterinarian

FIV in Cats
• Spread only through deep bite wounds
• Kitties with FIV can live for years with proper care and shelter
