WELCOME! Teal'c is gorgeous.

A cat that goes out would need more than a cat that stays in. After testing for FeLV (feline leukemia) yearly shots should be administered as exposure is inevitable. Indoor only cats do not need to be vaccinated against this.

As a tom cat with a history of fighting, he may already have contracted FIV (feline aids) He should be tested for that as well. If he is positive, he can live a long healthy life, but should be kept indoors.

Regular de-worming is something that you will need to think of. Exposure to the outside world has MANY parasites that can be contracted. A GOOD all around de-wormer, on a regular basis as per your vet's instructions.

Flea treatment will also be a concern. Advantage, Frontline, revolution, to name a few, are applied topically about once a month.

Neutering a male is not too traumatic on them. He could probably venture outside in a day or two after surgery.

Rabies and distemper are the other vaccinations to concider.

Both neutering and shots can be found at a reduced cost through humane organizations in your area. Just ask around.

HAVE fun! cat's are addicting!!
