Senior cat pet profile completion checklist

Quick answer: Senior cat profile additions: chronic conditions list, current medications and refill schedule, recent labs (BUN/creatinine for kidneys, thyroid panel), mobility and handling notes, vet visit cadence (often biannual), emergency contacts (sitter, family who can step in).

What gets extra attention

• Chronic conditions: kidney disease, hyperthyroidism, dental disease, arthritis are common in seniors
• Medications: usually more than one; refill timing matters
• Recent labs: keep summary handy
• Handling notes: arthritis, blindness, deafness affect approach
• Vet visit cadence: often biannual instead of annual
• Emergency contacts: trusted sitter, family member who knows the routine

For the public scan page

Medical alerts render when populated — “diabetic, insulin AM/PM” or “blind/deaf” tell a finder how to approach.
