Adopted Cats are Not Guaranteed with No Health Problems

Writer's picture: Save Fur Pets Org.Save Fur Pets Org.

Whether you adopt from a shelter, a rescue, or pet stores (such as PetSmart or PetValu), all adopted animals cannot be guaranteed to be completely free from health issues.

 

In these organizations, animals only receive basic physical exam. Due to limited financial resources, further tests such as blood tests (such as FIV, Feline Leukemia tests), fecal tests, urine tests, and other detailed examinations are not conducted. Only animals with symptoms, pre-existing or existing health conditions, and / or animals of older age will receive more thorough examinations.

 

Rescues and shelters will conclude the animal is healthy from the result of the health check. After the spay / neuter surgery and vaccinations, the foster home will keep close attention to the animal’s health condition for a period of time. If there is no display of symptoms or indication of parasite, the organization deem the animal to be adoptable.

 

Many abandoned animals come with little or unknown medical histories. Shelters and rescues are places to help them to find a responsible forever home for the animals. Adoption is not purchasing a cat at a low price, it's about changing the animal’s life because of you!

 

While kittens are adorable, they also come with more health risks than adult cats. Kittens, just like human babies, may have hidden illnesses that only become apparent as they grow older. Kittens are also more prone to issues like diarrhea, vomiting, and parasitic infections compared to adult cats. Animals may die inexplicably or suddenly due to their inherent conditions that cannot be observed beforehand.

 

Nevertheless, these are extreme cases. Majority of the animals live a long and healthy life and will be your good companion to you and your family. Helping animals in need is the true meaning of adoption.

 

If you are truly concerned about the animal’s health as they age, you may consider pet insurance. It's usually costs cheaper when your animal is younger and has a good health record!

 

Although some rescued animals may not be in “perfect condition”, such as dirty ears or small wounds on the body. If it does not worsen after being checked by a veterinarian, they’ll not be considered health problems.

 

Animals, just like humans, no one can guarantee life-long health. We appreciate your understanding. You will be provided a medical and vaccination certificate after adoption.

领养来的猫一定没有健康问题?


不管在任何救助站(Rescue)和收容所(Shelter)还是宠物店(比如PetSmart,PetValu),所有领养的猫咪都是不能100%保障无任何健康问题的。

 

在这些机构,猫咪都会做体检。但大部分的体检都是最基础的身体检查,并没有包含验血(比如猫艾滋,猫白血病测试),验屎,验尿等等进一步的检查。因为这些通常经费条件限制,只会给真的看起来生病,有病史,年纪特别大的猫做。

 

救助站的体检能做到的是这只猫咪在基础体检上看起来健康,没有观察到寄生虫和生病症状,绝育手术并且打过疫苗后,再经过一段时间的饲养和接触下来没有发现任何异样,就代表猫咪可以开放领养。

 

很多猫咪被弃养时,救助站的员工是无法知道猫之前历史的。收容所是帮无家可归的猫找一个归宿,找一个能替他负责的人照顾他,而不是售卖动物。领养并不是花一个低价买猫,而是这只猫因为你而改变他的命运!

 

幼猫可爱,但面临的健康隐患会比成猫更多。如果你领养的是几个月的幼猫,因为他们还非常小,跟小婴儿一样,可能会有一些隐藏疾病是要长大才知道。幼猫也会更容易面临一些拉稀呕吐及寄生虫的问题,比成猫更容易会需要医疗帮助。有的猫甚至也有可能会因为本身体质原因而死亡。

 

当然这些都是小比例事件,大部分的猫咪都能健康的陪伴你,帮助需要帮助的猫也才更是领养的意义。 

 

如果真的很担心未来猫咪的健康,可以考虑宠物保险,趁我们交给你猫咪有健康纪录时,买保险通常会是最便宜的!

 

猫咪是动物,跟人一样,都是没法保证一辈子健康的,感谢您的理解!

猫咪领养后也都会给由兽医开的疫苗证明。

 

另外,一些猫咪被救助回来时,不是每只都100% 完美。像是耳朵脏、身上有小伤口之类的,只要后期医生看过后不是问题,也没有恶化等,这些也都不会列入是健康问题。
