Common Cat Emergencies

As a cat boarding facility, we've seen many emergencies. Watch for:

• Urinary blockage (male cats) – Can't pee, crying, licking genitals. LIFE-THREATENING – go immediately!
• Lily poisoning – All parts of lilies are toxic to cats. Even pollen can cause kidney failure.
• String/ribbon ingestion – Can cause intestinal blockage. Never pull string from either end!
• Hiding + not eating – Cats hide pain. If your cat won't eat for 24+ hours, see a vet.
