In honor of National Cat Lovers’ Month, we’re highlighting how VetStem Cell Therapy can help improve quality of life for cats facing common chronic conditions. Using your cat’s own regenerative cells collected from a small sample of fat, VetStem Cell Therapy offers a natural way to reduce inflammation, support healing, and promote long-term comfort.

Orthopedic Issues

Arthritis and orthopedic injuries can greatly affect a cat’s mobility and quality of life. VetStem Cell Therapy helps reduce inflammation, improve joint comfort, and support tissue repair. Many cat owners report better mobility, increased playfulness, and an overall happier cat following treatment with stem cells.

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)

CKD is one of the most common illnesses in older cats. Common symptoms can include weight loss, lethargy, variable appetite, and poor coat quality. Some cats may also drink and urinate more, vomit, or have diarrhea. Unfortunately, treatment options for cats with kidney disease are limited. Stem cells have shown promise in supporting kidney function by reducing inflammation and fibrosis. While not a cure, VetStem Cell Therapy may help slow progression and improve symptoms in some cats with CKD.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)

Cats with IBD often struggle with chronic vomiting, diarrhea, and weight loss. Stem cells may help calm the immune system and decrease gastrointestinal inflammation in cats with IBD. Many veterinarians consider this therapy when traditional treatments aren’t enough or cause unwanted side effects. Numerous cats (and dogs!) have shown remarkable improvement after treatment with VetStem Cell Therapy, with some even experiencing a full resolution of their symptoms.

Feline Chronic Gingivostomatitis (FCGS)

This painful oral inflammatory condition can significantly impact a cat’s quality of life. VetStem Cell Therapy is a promising option for cats who don’t fully respond to dental extractions or medications. And some cats have been able to avoid full mouth extractions after treatment with VetStem Cell Therapy. Stem cells can help regulate the immune response and reduce severe inflammation in the mouth, thereby improving symptoms and quality of life.

If your cat is struggling with any of these conditions, talk to your veterinarian to see whether VetStem Cell Therapy may help or contact us to find a VetStem provider near you.
