Flea/Tick Treatment

Should be either given monthly or three monthly depending on the product used and age of kitten – ask at reception for further details, as there are tablets & pipettes available.

Worming

Should start at 2 weeks, then be given every 2 weeks until 12 weeks, then monthly until 6 months and thereafter 3 monthly.

A 3-day treatment for kittens that have not previously been wormed is available.

Vaccination

Vaccination is the only safe way to provide immunity against a number of dangerous infectious diseases which can affect your cat. We vaccinate against Flu, Enteritis, Feline Leukaemia, Herpes Virus and Calicivirus.

A primary course of vaccinations can begin from nine weeks of age, with a second vaccination given 3 weeks later. Thereafter, annual visits to the vet will the appropriate booster vaccinations to be given, together with an annual health check.

Neutering

Female Cat: 5 – 6 months.

Male Cat: 5 – 6 months.
