Keep your eyes peeled for a black, neutered, male cat! He’s been gone for about 3 weeks. He’s about 14-15 pounds and is very friendly. He may be wandering somewhere near Shooters in Forest City. We suspect he could be playing on a farm as well - he has came back smelling like a barn cat one other time. If you seem him or know where he may be please reach out to the Forest City Veterinary Clinic!

🐈Feline Friends🐈

🐾 Whether they’re climbing curtains or supervising from the highest shelf in the house, healthy cats make life more fun 🐱💫 Don’t ignore unusual signs or symptoms — early care helps keep your mouse population low and your furry explorer feeling their best for every adventure ahead 🐾

🐈 Cats are very good at hiding when something is wrong, so even small changes can be important. Contact your veterinarian if you notice:

🚨 Vomiting repeatedly or inability to keep food/water down
🚨 Straining to urinate or frequent trips to the litter box with little or no urine production
🚨 Crying while urinating or blood in urine
🚨 Loss of appetite
🚨 Sudden hiding or unusual behavior changes
🚨 Difficulty breathing or open-mouth breathing
🚨 Extreme lethargy or weakness
🚨 Diarrhea lasting more than 24 hours
🚨 Pale gums
🚨 Suspected toxin ingestion, string, ribbon, or foreign object swallowing

⚠️ A urinary blockage in cats is a medical emergency and can quickly become life-threatening. If your cat cannot urinate, seek veterinary care immediately.

⚠️ Ingestion of a string, foreign object, or toxin is a medical emergency and can become life threatening. Seek veterinary care immediately.

Keeping an eye on signs and symptoms helps keep your feline friend healthy, happy, and ready for all adventures 🐾✨
