Core vaccines are those immunizations recommended for all cats regardless of life stage or lifestyle due to factors such as the likelihood of infection, the threat posed to the pet’s health, or the risk of transmission to humans (zoonotic potential).
Non-core vaccines are given depending on your cat’s exposure risk. Conversations with your veterinarian regarding the risks and benefits will help in determining a vaccine regimen that will provide the safest and best protection for your individual pet.
Your kitten’s health depends on nutrition. The foods you feed your kitten will have a life-long impact on overall wellbeing. We recommend feeding your kitten a healthy, all-natural, meat-based or grain-free food that is free of dyes, fillers and low-quality ingredients. Choosing a healthy food can be difficult, which is why we only carry healthy foods that our veterinarians feed their own pets.
We generally recommend that kittens be spayed or neutered at approximately 6 months of age, but some variations to this apply in certain circumstances. Consult with your veterinarian for specific recommendations.
The following protocols should be based on the known prevalence of parasites for your region and will be performed accordingly by your local veterinarian.
