Cat First Aid

Stay calm, act fast, and keep your cat safe in an emergency

Cats are independent, curious, and surprisingly good at hiding pain — which makes knowing cat-specific first aid all the more important. This course walks you through the most common emergencies cat owners face, from bite wounds and road traffic accidents to toxic plants and breathing difficulties. Paula covers everything in a calm, step-by-step way so you feel prepared rather than panicked when it matters most. Whether you're a cat owner, a pet sitter, or a boarding professional, this course gives you the confidence to act quickly and correctly.
