Pet care & behaviour

Make your cat or kitten’s visit to the vet as stress-free as possible. Start with treats and a favourite towel, and take your time getting him or her out of their carrier. To learn more tips, read our care sheet (PDF) and watch our video:

To help cats cope with the stress of being at an animal centre, the BC SPCA developed the Hide, Perch & Goâ„¢ box. The box provides cats with more control over their limited environment and allows them to express behaviours such as hiding, perching and face rubbing (scent marking). All of these are natural cat behaviours that help reduce stress.

The Hide, Perch & Goâ„¢ box is included with the adoption of your new feline friend! Learn more.
