Kitten Care

Emotional attachment and fear of loss can make it difficult to know when it’s “time.” Our quality-of-life consultations and resources can help you understand your cat’s current well-being and make compassionate, informed choices based on their best interests.

The Importance of Early Care

Your kitten’s early veterinary care will shape their development and long-term health. Likewise, their home environment, socialization, and training will influence their emotional well-being—including their confidence and character as adults.

Our complete and compassionate approach to kitten care will ensure you feel informed, supported, and capable of meeting your kitten’s needs.

What To Expect During Your Kitten’s Visit

Kittens require a series of veterinary visits to ensure proper development and defense against infectious threats. Every visit provides another layer of protection, building your kitten’s immune system and enhancing your understanding of their care.

Kitten visits include:

Physical exam

Regular exams introduce your kitten to gentle handling, which can improve future behavior for grooming and care. During the exam, we’ll screen your kitten for abnormalities and assess their growth and development.

Vaccines

Vaccines protect against contagious illnesses such as feline panleukopenia, calicivirus, and rhinotracheitis. Your veterinarian will create a customized vaccine schedule to suit your kitten’s age and health status.

Spay and neuter guidance

Spaying and neutering prevent unwanted litters, reproductive health problems, and hormone-driven behaviors. We’ll help you understand the benefits of these procedures and determine the right time to have your kitten spayed or neutered.

Parasite treatment and prevention

Kittens are vulnerable to parasites, including intestinal worms, fleas, and ticks. Regular deworming and fecal testing, followed by regular preventives, can keep your kitten healthy and parasite-free.
