Bring essentials closer
Set up accessible beds, water and toileting spaces. Keep paths clear and flooring steady. Offer a comfortable retreat away from busy areas.
Keep their routine familiar
Use predictable meals and rest times. Night lights can help around steps and doorways. Introduce changes gradually, especially when vision or hearing changes.
Choose safe warmth
Use blankets and comfortable bedding. Avoid unmonitored heat sources and check any pet warmer carefully with your vet’s advice.
For your cat
Keep litter boxes close to resting areas and provide a low entrance. Let your cat choose quiet hiding places without being disturbed.
