What should I do if I don't buy a stray cat?

How to adopt a stray cat instead of buying it back?

Comprehensive physical examination

There are inevitably many "stories" when you wander the rivers and lakes. These stories are likely to be accompanied by some scars and diseases, so the most important thing is to have a comprehensive physical examination before adoption.

This is not only the first step to be responsible for them, but also a good opportunity to get to know them. How to get along with them and how to give them more care and care in the future can all get information from a physical examination.

This is also a guarantee for the shovel officer's own health, and many human and animal diseases can be avoided from the beginning of adoption.

Physical examination: check some external indicators of the cat's body, such as weight, body temperature, heart rate, breathing, limbs, ear, nose, eyes and mouth, etc.

Parasite inspection+deworming: You can judge how to deworm according to the approximate age of the cat. For specific popular science related to deworming, you can check your past notes.

Virus monitoring+vaccine: the internal physical examination of cats is mainly to see if they carry some viruses. If there is no problem with the monitoring, you can rest assured to adopt. Moreover, after the cats come home for half a month, they can be given various vaccines.

Other tests: Every stray cat has a different physical condition, so you can do some further tests according to the doctor's advice.

Prepare Caterpillar supplies.

Cat food, cat litter, cat litter basin, cat nest, cat scratch board, etc. ; If conditions permit, they can also be given some hiding space to gradually adapt to their new home.

Household cleaning

Under normal circumstances, stray cats can take home with peace of mind as long as they finish the internal and external insect repellent drugs. Some "painted cats" and "stuffed cats" who have been wandering for too long may want to give them a good bath.

If you need to take a bath, the shovel officer should also pay attention to the cat's vaccine situation. Some vaccines or insect repellents can't take a bath for a period of time. Cats under three months are not allowed to take a bath.

And some cats have just arrived in their new homes and are not used to it. If they are forced to take a bath, they may be stressed, so wait until they are familiar with the environment and cultivate a good impression before washing incense ~

Cut off from "aborigines"

This is very important for shovel officers who already have cats at home. Cats are territorial animals, so if there are "aborigines" at home, it is necessary to isolate the new members for a period of time so that both sides can adapt to the smell.

Perhaps many people don't know that there are hundreds of millions of stray animals in the world, but less than 2% of them are blessed by the lucky god and have a warm new home.

To love them is to be responsible for them, so that more stray cats will stop wandering.
