Managing Arthritis in Senior Cats

Helping Your Feline Stay Comfortable

As cats age, arthritis can cause pain and limit mobility, reducing their quality of life. Unlike dogs, cats tend to hide discomfort, making it crucial to recognize subtle signs and seek appropriate treatment before the condition worsens.

Signs of Arthritis in Cats

  • Reluctance to jump or climb
  • Stiffness, especially after resting
  • Decreased grooming or matted fur
  • Hiding more than usual
  • Changes in litter box habits

Solensia: A Breakthrough in Feline Arthritis Relief

image of Solensia (for cats) are new monthly treatments that offer real relief — safely and easily. Help your senior pet feel young again.

Solensia is a revolutionary, FDA-approved monthly injection designed specifically to relieve arthritis pain in cats. Instead of masking symptoms, Solensia works by targeting nerve growth factor (NGF)—a key driver of chronic pain. It’s not a painkiller in the traditional sense; it’s a biologic therapy that helps reduce pain at the source.

Because it’s administered by your veterinarian just once a month, there’s no daily medication struggle, making it ideal for even the pickiest feline companions. In clinical studies, over 75% of cat owners reported noticeable improvement in their cat’s mobility, comfort, and overall behavior after starting Solensia.

Managing Arthritis in Cats

While Solensia is often the cornerstone of an effective treatment plan, it works best when paired with other supportive strategies:

  • Weight Control – Maintaining a healthy weight reduces stress on joints.
  • Joint Supplements – Certain supplements can support joint health and mobility.
  • Environmental Modifications – Soft bedding, pet stairs or ramps, and litter boxes with low sides can make a big difference.
  • Regular Veterinary Check-Ups – Ongoing monitoring ensures your cat stays comfortable and active.
