How to Help a Paralyzed Cat Live Comfortably

Space planning
Create an accessible and safe space for your paralyzed cat. Use ramps and cushions to make it easier to move around and prevent injuries.

Daily care
Make sure your cat receives regular care, especially for grooming and hygiene. Use wipes to clean your cat and make sure she has access to suitable litter.

Physiotherapy and gentle exercises
Consult a veterinarian for suitable physiotherapy exercises. Massages and gentle exercises can help maintain your cat's circulation and musculature.

Medical assistance
Use specialized equipment like handicapped pet carts to improve your cat's mobility. Consult a veterinarian regularly to monitor its health and adjust treatments if necessary.
