Editorial policy

How we research

Every guide starts from current UK sources: veterinary charities (PDSA, Blue Cross, Cats Protection, RSPCA), International Cat Care, the Veterinary Medicines Directorate product information, and published veterinary literature. Sources are listed on each page.

Medical topics

We explain symptoms, treatments and costs so owners can make informed decisions with their vet. We never recommend doses of prescription medicines and we flag clearly when a cat needs urgent veterinary care.

Prices

Prices are typical UK ranges at the time of writing, gathered from published practice and charity price lists. They vary by region and practice, so always ask your vet for a quote.

Updates and corrections

Each guide shows when it was last updated. If you think something is wrong or out of date, tell us and we will check and correct it.

Independence

CatLife does not sell products or accept payment for coverage.
