Kitten & Adult Feline Health Program And Vaccination Schedule
Congratulations on the new addition to your family! There’s nothing like the love of a warm, fuzzy kitten. We want to help you keep your kitten healthy and happy. Regularly scheduled vaccinations are important for building your kitten’s immunity to several serious cat diseases. The examination we perform at each visit will also help us detect any common kitten-hood problems or illnesses. Remember that we are always pleased to answer any questions about raising your kitten; please feel free to bring a list with you or call at any time. Here’s a schedule of visits and vaccinations that we ask you to follow:

The most important part of your kitten’s visit today was the annual examination. Our veterinarian made certain that your kitten was checked from the tip of its nose to the tip of its tail for any health problems. This annual exam is your best way of keeping your loved one in tip-top health. Growing kittens especially need several examinations during the first few months of their life due to their constantly changing and growing bodies.
