Healthcare
for Your Cat
Whether your cat was adopted from the Humane Society
of Missouri or came from someplace else, he or she will
need a health examination and to be vaccinated. Below
are services we offer for your cat's health.
- Wellness exams and preventative medicine, including Feline Leukemia
vaccinations, and flea, tick and ear mite products
- Microchipping - a permanent form of ID for your
cat (Please keep your cat indoors, protected
from cars, dogs and inhumane people. Cats should
always wear a collar with two phone numbers
on the ID tag.)
- Treatment and advice for behavior problems including
improperly using the litterbox
- Declaw surgery (strictly for cats who stay indoors
at all times)
- Dental cleanings and extractions, because owners
often overlook the care of their cat's teeth, leading
to discomfort, decay and infection. Clean teeth are
important to everybody!
- Diagnostic tests such as x-rays, ultrasounds and
endoscopies to see any problems that might be occurring
inside your pet, such as broken bones and tumors
- In-house laboratory tests including urinalysis to
check for bladder infections, fecal analysis to check
for worms, and blood profiles to diagnose diabetes,
liver or kidney disease
- Surgeries to repair wounds or to remove tumors or
foreign bodies
- Orthopedic procedures for fractured bones
- Medical treatments for illnesses such as upper
respiratory infection, skin diseases, eye/ear diseases,
heart and kidney diseases, and diabetes

Spay or Neuter Surgery
Dogs, cats, puppies, kittens and rabbits are spayed or neutered prior to adoption. The Humane Society of Missouri spays or neuters adoptable puppies and kittens at or around two months of age.
