The Importance of Veterinary Check-Ups for Our Kittens: How We Care for Their Health

1. Initial Check-Up of Newborn Kittens

As soon as our kittens are born, the first stage of care begins with a detailed health assessment by our veterinarians:

• General health assessment: The vet checks their breathing, heartbeat, and overall development.
• Weight and growth monitoring: Each kitten is weighed and recorded to track its growth progress.
• Screening for congenital defects: This is crucial to ensure that the kittens are born without physical abnormalities.

2. Vaccination: Protection Against Diseases

When a kitten is 6-8 weeks old, the vaccination process begins to protect them from the most dangerous infectious diseases:

• First vaccination: We start with vaccinations against panleukopenia, rhinotracheitis, and calicivirus—these are essential protections against severe viruses.
• Booster vaccination: A few weeks later, the kittens receive a booster shot to strengthen their immune defense.

3. Parasite Prevention

In addition to vaccinations, all of our kittens undergo regular parasite prevention treatments:

• Flea and tick prevention: Special treatments are applied to the kitten’s skin to prevent external parasites.
• Deworming: This is an essential procedure to prevent intestinal parasites.

4. Pre-Home Check-Up

Before a kitten goes to their new home, they undergo a final check-up with the vet:

• General health check: The vet ensures that the kitten is healthy, active, and ready for their new home.
• Microchipping: We also offer microchipping services to help new owners locate their pet in case of loss.
• Veterinary passport: All medical procedures are recorded in the veterinary passport, which accompanies the kitten to their new home.

5. Regular Check-Ups for Adult Cats

Our adult cats also undergo regular veterinary check-ups to ensure their ongoing health:

• Annual vaccinations: Even adult cats need yearly vaccinations to stay protected.
• Dental health check: The vet regularly checks the cats’ teeth and gums for any signs of disease.
• Blood and urine tests: These are important for monitoring the overall health of our cats.
