Cats

Cats bring curiosity, affection, and companionship—and they deserve care that supports them through every purring adventure. Our veterinary team provides preventive, personalized wellness care that can help your cat stay healthy, happy, and by your side for years to come.

what to expect

During a Cat Wellness Exam

Your cat’s wellness visit includes a comprehensive physical assessment and discussion about their lifestyle. Our goal is to keep your cat feeling their best and prevent future health issues.

A typical exam may include:

  • Skin and coat check for parasites, lumps, or irritation.
  • Eye, ear, nose, and mouth inspection for signs of infection or inflammation.
  • Listening to heart, lung, and internal organ function.
  • Joint, mobility, reflex, and neurological evaluation.
  • Blood testing for heartworm and overall health.
  • Deworming, if necessary.
  • Vaccinations and parasite prevention.

We also welcome any questions you have about your cat’s behavior, nutrition, or overall well-being.

Caring for Your Cat at Every Age

From playful kittens to wise senior companions, your cat deserves dedicated care at every stage of life. Our wellness programs are designed to support your cat’s health, detect issues early, and ensure they live a comfortable, enriched life indoors or out.

Kitten wellness

A Healthy Start in Life

Welcoming a new kitten to the family? Our kitten wellness care lays the foundation for a lifetime of health by combining expert veterinary support with education and early preventive care. During your kitten’s visits, we provide comprehensive services—including nutrition and feeding guidance, litter box and behavioral support, socialization and stress-reduction strategies, parasite testing and deworming, and a customized vaccine schedule tailored to their lifestyle and risk.

Kittens are particularly vulnerable to parasites and contagious diseases, making early care essential for protecting both your pet and your household!

Adult Cat Wellness

Proactive, Personalized Prevention

As your kitten grows into an adult, ongoing wellness care remains just as important. Even healthy-appearing adult cats can hide early signs of illness, making annual wellness exams vital. Routine checkups allow us to monitor subtle changes in weight, dental health, skin and coat, and behavior, keeping vaccinations current and overall care aligned with your cat’s lifestyle.

During adult wellness visits, we perform a full nose-to-tail assessment, screen for parasites and other health risks, and administer recommended vaccines. Depending on your cat’s age and medical history, baseline bloodwork or dental care may also be suggested to maintain long-term well-being.

Senior Cat Wellness

Compassionate Support for Aging Pets

As cats enter their senior years—typically around age eight—they benefit from more frequent, specialized veterinary care. Aging can bring subtle changes in mobility, behavior, organ function, and overall comfort, and regular checkups allow us to detect these shifts early.

During senior wellness visits, we focus on identifying chronic conditions such as kidney disease, hyperthyroidism, and arthritis, while monitoring cognitive function, mobility, pain levels, nutrition, and weight. Routine diagnostics—including bloodwork, urinalysis, and fecal testing—are generally recommended every 6–12 months to catch health issues that may not be apparent externally.

Recommended Vaccines for Cats

Vaccinations are an essential part of keeping your cat healthy. The vaccines your cat needs depend on their age, lifestyle, and risk exposure—for example, whether they go outdoors, interact with other cats, or live in a multi-pet household.

Our veterinary team will help create a personalized vaccine plan to protect your cat from preventable illnesses throughout life. Below are some of the cat vaccines we offer.

Schedule Visit
FVRCP (Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, Panleukopenia/Feline Distemper) Vaccination

Protects against highly contagious, potentially life-threatening respiratory and GI viruses. Start at 6–8 weeks; boosters every 3–4 weeks until 16–20 weeks. Boost at 1 year, then every 1–3 years.

Rabies Vaccination

Protects against a fatal disease that’s transmissible to humans; required by law in most areas. First dose between 12–16 weeks; booster at 1 year, then every 1–3 years depending on local law and vaccine type.

Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) Vaccination

Prevents a contagious and often fatal virus; especially important for kittens and outdoor cats. First dose at 8–12 weeks; booster in 3–4 weeks, then annually for at-risk cats.

Chlamydia (Chlamydophila felis) Vaccination

Helps prevent conjunctivitis and upper respiratory issues in multi-cat environments., Often included in FVRCP combo or given separately. Typically requires boosters; frequency depends on risk.
