The very handsome Badger visited today 🥰. And we found a lovely flashback photo to one of his first visits to us last year when he was (just about) still small enough to pick up for cuddles!

Gorgeous Mabel loved making use of our Cats Protection designed 'cat hide' when she visited earlier this week for her neutering operation. Some cats love to perch on top, like Mabel, and some prefer to hide inside underneath 😸

For those cats most at risk, yes, you can apply sunscreen. 🧴 Any cat can be at risk of sunburn, however, cats with white, thin or no hair are at higher risk. As with people, repeated sun exposure can lead to sore and damaged skin, which in turn can lead to skin cancer. Here are a few tips 👇

🐱 Only use sunscreen that is specifically for pets.

🐱 If you are using a new product, monitor your cat for any reactions.

🐱 Focus on applying it to their nose, the tips of their ears, their belly and groin areas, along with anywhere that has thin to no fur.

🐱 After applying, distract your cat with a treat or play to allow the product to be absorbed without being groomed away.

🐱 If you would prefer not to put anything on your cat, restricting their access outdoors during the hottest part of the day may be necessary.

🏥 If your cat is showing any signs of sunburn or skin cancer, or if you would like advice on the best sunscreen for your cat and how to protect them from the sun, contact your vet team for help.

Will your dog be coming on holiday with you this summer?

Here are some tips to ensure safe travels, share any of your own in the comments.
🚗 Your dog must be securely restrained in the car e.g., using a seat belt harness, dog cage or dog guard. Use the air conditioning in warm weather, and never leave your dog in a parked car in warm weather.
🚙 For a long journey, plan safe dog toilet stops and pack a source of water to offer your dog. Make sure they have their collar and tag on, and that their microchip contact details are up to date before you travel.
💊 Make sure you have enough of your pet’s regular medication before you go. Take your dog’s normal food with you or make sure you can purchase it locally; a sudden change of diet can cause a tummy upset.
☎️ Find out the contact details of a local vet, so you have a number to call should you need one.
⚠️Check out your new accommodation and local area before letting your dog loose. We have seen dogs injured from falling off balconies, for example. Be aware of any local dog dangers e.g., blue-green algae in lakes or ponds, or adders.
🐑 Follow the countryside code – keep your dog on a lead around livestock.

If you are planning on travelling abroad with your dog, check out the government pet travel website and speak to us well in advance so you know what you need to do.

🐱 If you’re committed to taking on a kitten and sharing your life with them for the next 14 years or longer, considering where to get one is important in helping to make the right choice of pet for you and your lifestyle.

You could choose a kitten from a rehoming/rescue centre, buy a pedigree from a breeder, or get one through friends or family, for example. The experiences of early kittenhood and the care they’ve received, can have a lasting effect on a kitten's physical and emotional health and behaviour. Understanding their individual circumstances and needs will help you choose the right kitten and support them to settle into your home. 🐈

It’s important to know what to look for and what questions to ask, so explore our expert tips and advice, including a handy ‘Kitten Checklist’, to help you find a healthy, friendly kitten 👉 https://icatcare.org/articles/choosing-a-kitten
