​
Essential Vet Well-Check
Before your kitten comes home, they will have a thorough vet well-check. This initial examination is crucial for identifying any potential health issues early on and ensuring your kitten is off to a healthy start. During this check-up, the vet will:
-
Conduct various tests to ensure your kitten is healthy, including checking for a heart murmur.
-
Administer deworming treatment to protect your kitten from parasites.
-
Provide the first set of vaccinations to safeguard against common feline diseases.

First Set of Vaccinations
Vaccinations play a vital role in keeping your kitten healthy. The first set of vaccinations will protect against several serious illnesses, helping to build your kitten's immune system and prevent disease.

Comprehensive Grooming
Before your kitten heads to their new home, they will also receive comprehensive grooming, which includes:
-
Cleaning their ears to prevent infections.
-
Trimming their nails to keep them comfortable and reduce the risk of injury.
-
A complete grooming session to ensure they look and feel their best.

Go-Home Care Kit
To make the transition to their new home as smooth as possible, your kitten will come with a go-home care kit. This thoughtful package includes:
-
Their current diet of food so you can continue feeding them what they are used to, making the transition easier on their tummy.
-
A detailed schedule of their current feeding and care routine, which you can slowly adjust to fit your lifestyle.
