Before adoption, kittens from Purradox Sphynxery receive comprehensive veterinary care to ensure they are healthy and ready for their new homes. Here’s a breakdown of the veterinary care provided:
Veterinary Care | Details |
---|---|
1. Initial Health Examination | Each kitten undergoes a thorough health examination by a licensed veterinarian to ensure they are free from congenital or genetic issues and in good overall health. This includes checking the heart, lungs, eyes, ears, and physical development. |
2. Vaccinations | Kittens receive a series of vaccinations to protect them against common feline diseases. This includes the FVRCP vaccine (Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, and Panleukopenia) given at 9, 12, and 15 weeks. A rabies vaccine is also administered at 12 weeks. |
3. Deworming | A comprehensive deworming protocol is followed to ensure the kittens are free from intestinal parasites. This is typically done multiple times to cover the full parasite lifecycle. |
4. Microchipping | Each kitten is microchipped for permanent identification before going to their new home. Microchip details are registered to the new owner after adoption for added security. |
5. Spaying/Neutering | Kittens are spayed or neutered once they reach a safe weight and age, typically at a minimum of 3 lbs or around 12-14 weeks. This ensures they are ready to go home without the need for future surgical procedures. |
6. Flea & Parasite Prevention | Kittens receive a preventative flea treatment if needed, as well as other parasite preventatives to protect against ticks, mites, and other common pests. |
7. Health Certificate | A licensed veterinarian issues a health certificate verifying that the kitten is healthy and fit for adoption. This certificate includes vaccination records, spay/neuter confirmation, and any health screenings performed. |
8. Veterinary Records Provided | All veterinary care details are documented and provided to the new owner, including vaccination dates, deworming schedule, spay/neuter documentation, microchip number, and health assessment results. |
