Your Kitten’s First Veterinary Visit 

We love welcoming new kittens to our veterinary clinic! Even if your kitten has seen another veterinarian before adoption, it’s important to schedule a first appointment with us right away.

During this visit, your kitten's vet will: 

• Perform a full physical exam 
• Give the first round of vaccines 
• Discuss flea, tick, and heartworm prevention 
• Offer nutrition recommendations for healthy development 
• Answer your questions on behavior, litter training, and general care 

Preventive & Wellness Services for Kittens

Vaccinations: Vaccines protect against dangerous diseases like feline distemper, feline leukemia, and rabies. Your veterinarian will create a schedule based on your kitten’s age and health status.

Parasite Prevention: Kittens are especially vulnerable to fleas, ticks, worms, and other parasites. We’ll set up a parasite prevention plan to keep your kitten safe and thriving.

Spay & Neuter Services: Spaying or neutering helps prevent unwanted litters, reduces certain behavioral issues, and lowers the risk of some diseases. Your kitten’s vet will recommend the best timing.

Nutrition & Growth: The right diet supports bone, muscle, and immune system development. We’ll recommend kitten-appropriate foods and feeding schedules tailored to your pet’s needs.

Tips for New Kitten Parents 

In addition to regular kitten vet care, there are many simple things you can do at home to support your kitten’s healthy development.

• Socialization: Introduce your kitten to new people, pets, and environments early.
• Basic Training: Begin with litter box training and gentle handling.
• Playtime: Provide safe toys to encourage natural hunting instincts.
• Dental Care: Start brushing with kitten-safe toothpaste to build healthy habits.
• Grooming: Regular brushing and nail trims keep your kitten looking and feeling their best.
