Welcoming a new kitten into your home is one of the most wonderful things you'll experience as a pet parent.
As you celebrate and fuss over the newest addition to the family, you might suddenly find there's a lot to consider, as well as some important steps you need to take to get your little kitty ready for the big wide world.
Vaccinations
Just like us humans, it's important for cats to get vaccinated to protect from certain diseases.
Microchipping and name tags
Microchipping is important as it can help identify your kitten and your contact details if they get lost. Talk to your veterinary team about microchipping for your kitten and if it is a legal requirement in your area.
Desexing your kitten
Desexing is generally recommended at around 6 months of age. Not only does it prevent any unwanted litters, but it reduces the risk of certain diseases and cancers.
