New kitten in the family?

Kittens are usually first examined between 6-8wks of age. We vaccinate them against feline distemper and upper respiratory viruses. We deworm all kittens for roundworms (which they are frequently born with) and screen them for feline leukemia virus. Leukemia, a contagious viral disease that cats and kittens may harbor without showing signs of illness can frequently be fatal. Nutrition and litter box habits are also discussed. Establishing a relationship early on in your pet's life enables you to call with any questions you may have and feel confident with us should a problem occur at a later time in your pet's life.
