Kitten Care Services

Comprehensive care to give your new kitten the healthiest start in life with expert veterinary guidance every step of the way.

Welcoming a new kitten into your home is a wonderful experience filled with joy, playfulness, and the beginning of a lifelong bond. At MyPets Veterinary Urgent Care & Wellness, we understand that the early months of your kitten's life are crucial for establishing healthy habits and preventing future health issues.

Our comprehensive kitten care program addresses the unique needs of growing cats, from essential vaccinations and parasite prevention to nutritional guidance and behavioral training. Kittens have different health requirements than adult cats, and our experienced team is specially trained to provide age-appropriate care that supports healthy development.

We take a personalized approach to kitten care, recognizing that indoor cats, outdoor cats, and those with mixed lifestyles have different risk factors and care needs. Our veterinarians work closely with new kitten parents to develop customized care plans that consider your kitten's breed characteristics, living environment, and your family's lifestyle.

Beyond medical care, we provide extensive educational resources to help you navigate the unique challenges of kitten ownership. From litter box training and scratching behavior to proper nutrition and environmental enrichment, we're here to support you in raising a healthy, well-adjusted cat.

Our goal is to establish a foundation of trust and care that will continue throughout your cat's entire life. We believe that the relationship we build with you and your kitten during these early months sets the stage for a lifetime of excellent veterinary care and optimal health.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about kitten care and health

When should I bring my new kitten in for their first visit?

We recommend scheduling your kitten's first wellness exam within 48-72 hours of bringing them home, especially if they're under 12 weeks old. This allows us to establish baseline health, discuss vaccination schedules, and address any immediate concerns about your kitten's health or behavior.

What vaccinations does my kitten need and when?

Kittens typically receive their first FVRCP (feline viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, panleukopenia) vaccine at 6-8 weeks, with boosters every 3-4 weeks until 16 weeks old. Rabies vaccination is given at 12-16 weeks. We may also recommend FeLV (feline leukemia) testing and vaccination based on your kitten's lifestyle.

When should I spay or neuter my kitten?

We typically recommend spaying or neutering kittens between 4-6 months of age, before they reach sexual maturity. Early spaying/neutering helps prevent unwanted behaviors, reduces the risk of certain cancers, and eliminates the possibility of unwanted pregnancies.

How do I litter train my kitten?

Most kittens naturally use litter boxes, but proper setup is important. Use unscented, clumping litter in a clean box placed in a quiet, accessible location. Keep the box clean and show your kitten where it is. If accidents occur, clean thoroughly and be patient - most kittens learn quickly with consistency.

What should I feed my kitten and how much?

Kittens need high-quality kitten food formulated for growth and development. Feed small, frequent meals (3-4 times daily for young kittens, 2-3 times for older kittens). The amount varies by age, weight, and activity level. We'll provide specific feeding guidelines and monitor your kitten's growth to ensure proper nutrition.
