This guide covers all the essentials to help your kitten grow into a confident, healthy, happy cat, and to make sure you both enjoy the journey.

Keep Them Protected

Vaccinations help your kitten fight off serious diseases like cat flu and enteritis. For kittens who may venture outdoors, we also recommend FIV protection. Our team will guide you through the full vaccination course and yearly boosters.

Worms: Easy to Prevent

Kittens can be born with worms, and they spread easily. Regular worming is important for your kitten's health and your family's too. We weigh your kitten at each visit to make sure the dose is just right.

Feed to Thrive

The right food fuels growth and play. Choose a complete kitten diet tailored to their age and size. Small wet meals a few times a day, plus premium dry food for grazing, works well for most kittens. Skip table scraps and regular milk.

Flea Prevention

Fleas are not just itchy. They can trigger allergies, cause anaemia, and spread tapeworms. Monthly preventative drops keep your kitten protected and comfortable all year round.

Heartworm Protection

Though less common in cats, heartworm can be serious. Monthly preventative drops help protect your kitten safely and easily from an early age.

Be Ready for the Unexpected

Kittens are playful explorers, which sometimes means accidents. Pet insurance helps you manage the unexpected and ensures you never have to choose between care and cost. Sign up while your kitten is young for the best coverage.

Microchipping

Microchipping is a simple, permanent way to identify your kitten if they ever get lost. Council registration is also required once they turn three months old. A quick-release collar with an ID tag is a handy backup too.

Desexing

Desexing reduces the risk of health issues, roaming, spraying, and fights. We recommend desexing between five and six months of age. It is quick, safe, and offers lifelong benefits without changing your kitten's sweet personality.

Healthy Teeth from Day One

Good dental habits start young. Introducing chews, meat strips, and gentle brushing early sets your kitten up for a healthier mouth for life. We will show you how to make it a positive experience for both of you.

Grooming with Love

Whether your kitten is sleek or fluffy, early grooming helps them feel relaxed and cared for. Regular brushing reduces matting and shedding, and gives you quality bonding time. Long-haired cats especially benefit from daily attention.

Play, Learn, Love

Yes, you can train a cat! Use treats, praise, and toys to reinforce good habits. Litter training usually comes naturally, but setup matters. For indoor cats, enrichment like perches, toys, and scratchers is essential for a stimulated, happy kitty.
