International Cat Care

Objectives

International Cat Care is a charity dedicated to promoting the health and welfare of cats through advancing standards of veterinary practice and care provided by owners, breeders and catteries.

Principal activities

• Funding veterinary surgeons to specialise in feline medicine at veterinary schools and centres of feline excellence. The Residents and Lecturers teach the vets and veterinary nurses of the future and also see cats on referral from veterinary surgeons in practice. The referred cases are often difficult to diagnose or treat. Knowledge gained from these cases is passed back to veterinary surgeons in practice via iCatCare's publication and other publications and at conferences and meetings.

• Providing information for cat owners and breeders on a wide range of feline problems via the website as well as in information sheets and publications. A helpline is available

• Striving to improve the care of cats in catteries by providing information on constructing and managing a boarding cattery and information for cat owners on choosing a cattery. Running a scheme of Listed Boarding Catteries to give owners information about high quality catteries. Educating those involved in licencing boarding catteries.
