The Early Years

Exercise, Training & Play

The early years will probably feel like the most intense when it comes to your cat’s physical and cognitive development. Regular engagement will help raise a well-behaved, confident, and happy cat.

Hunting, exploring, and scratching are all natural ways cats stay physically and mentally active. Providing young felines with a variety of toys, scratchers, and their own furniture, etc., helps them develop these skills (and saves your couch!).


Get your cat comfortable in the car or carrier on short trips first (like vet visits) before longer journeys. This helps ease their stress. They might even learn to love the adventure!

The Adult Years

Bringing home an adult cat is a wonder-fur experience. You’ll most likely have some details about their personality, their favourite foods and games. In between the squeals of delight (from you of course!), and the cutest cuddles (from them), there’s bound to be a lot to think about in the first 24 hours.

Exercise, Training & Play

Playtime will ensure your kitty stays active. Toys that promote stalking and pouncing are a great way to play to their natural instincts, while interactive puzzles support physical health and are great boredom busters. Scratching is also essential for your cat, and special scratch posts and trees—and a little human intervention—will train your kitty that your furniture is out of bounds.

The Senior Years

Giving an older cat a second chance is rewarding for everyone. BFFs in their golden years are likely to need a little extra TLC—we can help with that—while you help with the extra cuddles.

Specialized foods, supplements, and accessories (like low-side litter boxes) designed for older cats goes a long way to supporting healthy aging.

Opt for low-sodium foods and supplements for aging hips and joints.

Play & Exercise

Staying active remains important. Senior cats will appreciate quality playtime—even if shorter—with you. Lower-level easier to climb cat trees will also be appreciated.

If your cat has mobility issues, small alterations to their surroundings can greatly impact their quality of live. Think pet ramps or steps to help them reach their favourite spots, like the sofa.


It's a great idea to support joint health early—give supplements before your senior cat shows signs of slowing down.
