FELINE HEALTH RESOURCES
This comprehensive list of resources covers well over 125 feline health topics. The list is alphabetized and cross-referenced to make it easier to locate a particular health topic and other possible related issues.
Since feline health discovery is constantly changing, I would appreciate receiving links to useful information that can be included below. If you find a broken link, please let me know so that I can keep this list as current as possible.
Abstracts of published scientific articles are included occasionally. Complete articles may be found at local veterinary college libraries or with the help of your veterinarian. More up to date information, other than that provided below, may also be available.
PLEASE NOTE: This list is for informational purposes only. It was compiled by Karen Lawrence, and was originally published on the Tailsend Cattery web site and then by the Internet Cat Club (a former CFA cat club). In 2009, permission was also granted for its use on the CatsCenterstage web site. We have no control over information provided in the links, and it should be noted that information on linked pages may change frequently. The links are provided as a courtesy for those seeking additional information about specific feline health issues. Inclusion of a link on the list below does not necessarily mean an endorsement of the content of a linked page.
Remember, your veterinarian is your best source for information about your cat and its health. The information provided in these links is not intended to replace professional veterinary care.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: There are a variety of publications available that provide articles on feline health, blogs that keep subscribers current on the latest issues, as well as forums and mailing lists for discussion. Some of these are:
- Blogs:
- Discussions Forums:
- Mailing Lists:
- Newsletters
