🐱 Senior Cats Deserve Golden Years in Good Health 💛
Just like people, cats experience changes as they age — but they’re masters at hiding discomfort. That’s why routine bloodwork is key once your kitty reaches 8+ years old.

🧪 What can bloodwork reveal?
✔️ Early signs of kidney disease
✔️ Thyroid imbalances (like hyperthyroidism)
✔️ Liver issues and anemia
✔️ Diabetes and more

✨ Your cat may seem fine on the outside — but bloodwork helps us see what’s happening inside, so we can catch issues early and keep them feeling purr-fect.

📅 Book a senior wellness exam and lab screening today.
Your cat's quiet loyalty deserves the best care.
