Common Questions
When should I schedule my kitten's first vet visit?
We recommend scheduling your kitten's first visit within the first few days of bringing them home. Early veterinary care allows your veterinarian to assess your kitten's health, identify any concerns early on, and begin building a personalized care plan to set your new companion up for a long and healthy life.
How many kitten visits will my cat need in their first year?
Kittens typically need a series of visits every three to four weeks until around sixteen weeks of age to complete their initial vaccination series and monitor their development. Additional visits may be recommended throughout the first year depending on your kitten's individual health needs and lifestyle.
Should I be concerned about bringing my unvaccinated kitten to the vet?
It is a completely understandable concern for new cat owners. While it is wise to limit your kitten's exposure to unknown animals before they are fully vaccinated, veterinary visits are essential and should not be postponed. We maintain a clean and carefully managed environment so your kitten can receive the care they need safely and comfortably.
What happens during a kitten visit?
Your veterinarian will perform a comprehensive physical examination, evaluate your kitten's growth and development, begin their vaccination schedule, discuss parasite prevention, and talk through important topics such as nutrition, litter training, and indoor versus outdoor considerations. It is also a wonderful opportunity to get your kitten comfortable with veterinary visits from the very start.
What vaccinations will my kitten receive during their visits?
Core vaccines for kittens typically include feline herpesvirus, calicivirus, panleukopenia, and rabies. Depending on your kitten's lifestyle and whether they will spend time outdoors, your veterinarian may also recommend additional vaccines such as feline leukemia. A personalized vaccination schedule will be created to ensure your kitten is fully protected.
What can I do at home between kitten visits to keep my kitten healthy?
Between visits, focus on feeding your kitten a high quality age-appropriate diet, keeping up with any parasite prevention recommended by your veterinarian, providing safe opportunities for play and socialization, and monitoring for any changes in appetite, energy, litter box habits, or behavior. Never hesitate to reach out to us between appointments if something does not seem right — we are always here to help.
