Thanks for using Boop by Petco! This depends on the extent of it. However, you can consider doing it with a wet towel or just using a towel after wetting the paws to get rid of it. This should work well. Best of luck!

Hello. The cats & kittens offered at Petco are actually managed by individual rescue groups. Prices will differ from rescue to rescue. All cats can do well if they are played with & fussed over once you get home. Can they get into trouble & sometimes make a mess? Absolutely. If you do not want hair & dander & kitty litter tracked all over the house, you should not have a pet. Cats may need to have their claws trimmed ( NOT REMOVED ) & plenty of opportunities to exercise their claws, otherwise they will scratch your furniture, moldings & walls. You will need different types of scratching surfaces, plenty of toys, a water & food dish, litter box ( or 2 ), & lots of patience. All cats are individuals, so when you go looking to adopt a cat, take your family & give yourself plenty of time to spend with your potential pet, & ask lots of questions about them. Good luck & thanks for using Boop by Petco.

It might be an eye infection, if this is the case i would not recommend waiting until the 5th of July as the condition might get worse and permanent damage might occur to the eye. she will probably need an antibiotic eye drops, treatment should not be expensive, i strongly recommend that you take her to the vet today in order to get it treated.

This is likely caused by stress. Have you tried Feliway diffusers? They will work in many cases,, You will need to put them into the areas where your cat spends most of her time and do this for at least three months. This is not caused by allergies, which is why all the medications and treatments you mention did not work. Please do not ever use tea tree oil on your cat again as it is toxic to cats. The metabolites of tea tree oil cannot be broken down by cats, You can get Feliway in Petshops, on the Internet or at your vet's.

Thank you for contacting Boop by Petco with your question about Kali. You did the right thing by wiping out her mouth. I would monitor her for vomiting, excessive drooling, and a loss of appetite. If you see any of those signs, have her seen by a vet immediately. Feed her as normal and make sure she drinks plenty of water. Best of luck.
