We are a stress-free cat hospital and we've been taking care of cats for more than 20 Years
Our compassion, love, and dedication to cats has led us to devote a significant portion of our attention to the special needs of felines. When you bring your cat to Animal Hospital of Heath, your furry friend will be treated to a quiet, stress-free environment.
Cats are not small dogs and should not be treated or handled as such. There are many medical and behavioral situations specific to cats, and you should feel very comfortable knowing that your veterinarian has thorough knowledge of these specific feline needs. Dr. Downes and Dr. Carter take a special interest to see that our feline patients receive the very best medical care. In addition, our Staff at Animal Hospital of Heath is specifically trained to handle the most sensitive feline patients with your cat's ease and comfort in mind.
What to Expect on Your Kitten's First Visit to the Vet
A Learning Experience for You and Your Kitten
Your first kitten visit will be an extensive learning experience! We want to give you all the tools needed to care for your new furry family member. First kitten visit's are approximately 60 minutes long, to allow plenty of time for you to ask questions and make sure you have all the information you need to raise a happy, healthy kitten.
Your visit will begin with a "kitten talk" from one of our experienced nurses. They will send you home with a packet of brochures, samples and written documents on how to care for your new kitten. We will go over the most up to date behavior and training information and help you with litter box training, getting your cat into a carrier and how to introduce your new kitten to other pets and children.
Action Plan for Vaccination and Care Schedule
Each kitten receives a clay paw print so you can remember their cute little paws! You will go home with a first free dose of heartworm prevention. Each kitten gets an action plan where we lay out a plan with you for vaccine schedules. Each kitten gets a massage at each appointment because we want to help get them used to being touched for future visits as an adult cat.
