My cat loves sun. Is there a safe cat sunscreen to prevent skin cancer?

Question

Hello, my cat loves to lay in the sun but I hear cats who do that ate more prone to getting skin cancer. I've been trying to look up sunscreens that are safe for cats but cannot find anything. Does anyone know of a cat sunscreen? Thank you. Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Male | neutered | 14 lbs

Hello, there aren't any approved veterinary products, but you could find some at a local petstore. Cats that have white are more prone to developing skin cancer, however the incidence of this is very low especially in indoor cats. You should not stress to intervene with sunscreen as limiting your cat's time outside could be just as a efficient. Hope this helps and best of luck.
