Kittens





Kittens are good.  We are in favor of kittens.
We think everyone should have a kitten.  Here's
what you need to know to make your kitten experience
a good kitten experience.



Having a kitten is a lot of fun, especially if you enjoy things that purr, pounce, and snooze.  Seriously, a new kitten can be a real source of joy.  Like most good things, however, owning a kitten comes with a price:  The obligation to take care of your kitten's needs.  Fortunately, kittens don't need very much.  Just good food, shelter, love, discipline, and some basic health care needs.


You are in charge of the food, shelter, love, and discipline.  We will take care of the health needs.  Most of the time, we will need to see a kitten three times the first year.  During the three visits, we will evaluate your kitten's health, growth, and devopment.  We will administer the vaccines he or she so vitally needs.  And we will talk about various health topics as we go.  The three most important things you can do for your kitten is to get the vaccinations done, get them done on time, and to get them done correctly.  The first vaccinations need to be given at 8 weeks of age, and will cost around $55 to $60, depending on how old your kitten actually is and what vaccines need to be given.

We follow the new  AAFP vaccination guidelines.  This means that we use some different vaccines and give them less often than in the past.  Click here to go to an explanation of the New Vaccination Guidelines.


We have three e-handouts, one for each kitten visit.  Click on the links below to go to the appropriate e-handout.
