Cats Get Fair Share of Health Care

While the behavior of cats may be a mystery, their health shouldn't be. Despite the cat's status as America’s No. 1 pet — there are more than 82 million in U.S. homes — cats receive less veterinary care and research than dogs, and too few scientists are studying feline health issues.

Morris Animal Foundation (MAF) launched the Happy Healthy Cat Campaign to help eliminate suffering and premature death in cats. This is an unprecedented worldwide effort to promote feline health research and training of scientists. The initiative holds the most promise of any research campaign ever undertaken to help the cats we love.
