Kitten Wellness
Healthy kittens grow to be loving adult cats.
Now that you have a new kitten, Cascade Veterinary Clinic wants you to keep him or her happy and healthy. The best way to do this is to start at the beginning with regular wellness examinations. Vaccinations to protect your kitten against disease are easy to get and part of making sure that your pet grows to be a playful adult cat. Our Kitten Wellness program recommends the following:
- Thorough health examination and first vaccination at 8 weeks of age with Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis (Herpes virus), Calicivirus, Panleukopenia (feline parvovirus) [FVRCP]and, if the kitten is going outdoors or at greater risk, Feline Leukemia Virus [FeLV]; also fecal examination and worming for intestinal parasites. Discussion on spaying or neutering and declawing (at owners request). We may also recommend Feline Leukemia blood testing prior to vaccination.
- Second vaccination at 12 weeks of age with FVRCP or FVRCP/FeLV and 1 year Rabies
As your kitten grows and matures, the regular visits he or she has come to expect will continue. Cascade Veterinary Clinics veterinarians will work with you to tailor a program of Adult Wellness and eventually Senior Wellness for your cat.
