Congratulations on your new kitten! Thank you for choosing us to help protect and care for your new addition to your family. Our kitten wellness program is designed to help get your kitten started on the right path to a long and healthy life. The first few months are a critical period in your kitten’s development, and we can give you the support and tools necessary to help him or her grow into a well-mannered, healthy cat. We look forward to meeting your new kitten! Schedule your appointment today.
- We provide information and advice on nutrition, litterbox training, and behavior
- Schedule your kitten for his or her first exam as soon as possible because your kitten is susceptible to many serious but preventable diseases until he or she has received a series of vaccines
- We will vaccinate your new pet against rabies and panleukopenia (distemper)
- Depending on your cat’s risk, we may also advise vaccinating him or her against other diseases, such as feline leukemia virus (FeLV) and feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV)
- In addition, your kitten will need to be tested and treated for parasites, which are common in young cats
- Most kittens have roundworms, which are intestinal worms that can cause coughing, weight loss, and a potbellied appearance in cats (although they may not cause any symptoms)
- Roundworms are a zoonotic parasite, which means they can be transmitted from pets to people
- By ensuring that your kitten is treated, you can keep your entire family safe
