Is sunscreen needed for my white indoor cat by sunny windows?

Hello, there aren't any approved veterinary products, but you could find some at a local petstore. Cats that have white are more prone to developing skin cancer, however the incidence of this is very low especially in indoor cats. You should not stress to intervene with sunscreen as limiting your cat's time outside could be just as a efficient. Hope this helps and best of luck.

Sun screen will likely not do anything to help unless you are placing it on hairless areas, and I would be concerned if there are chemicals in it that may harm your cats if they groom themselves. Instead, providing your cats with a shaded, cool area to relax, and providing plenty of fresh drinking water should help.

Unfortunately, there are no FDA approved sunblocking products for cats. Use caution when choosing a pet sunblock. Avoid products with zinc oxide, PABA (para aminobenzoic acid), or octyl salicylate. These are toxic to cats. Consider protective suits or clothing for pets. The best way to prevent sun exposure is to restrict outdoor time between 10am and 3pm. https://www.amazon.com/Petscreen-Moisturizer-Moisturizes-Application-Convenient/dp/B07ZBQG1RS/ref=sr_1_12?dchild=1&keywords=sunscreen+pets&qid=1586541415&sr=8-12

No, it's not likely to be harmful for your cat, it's mainly an issue for white cats but your cat is mainly black, especially on the areas that are exposed to the sun so i would not be worried about it.

Hi, yes I would definitely recommend to get some sun cream and you can try a sun cream for cats called Dermascent on Amazon UK or use baby suncream which is fragrance free and zinc free (I think I have used one from Boots before). Hope this helps !

Great question! It's is a very good idea to use sunscreen on Pablo this summer. I would recommend using Vetbasix, which is specially formulated for cats and dogs. You can get it in Australia online or in a pet store.

This is a serious problem as cats with white ears and lots of sunburns are very prone to cancer on the ears (Squamous Cell Carcinoma). The best would be to make your cat an inside only cat in summer so that she is not exposed to the sun. This includes pulling shades in the house so she cannot sunbathe and get burnt in the window either. You can try to put sun lotion on the ears with a high protection factor against UV light, however most cats will lick it off. Keeping her out of the sun is vital and the only way to keep her from being burned.
