Do your homework. If you plan on getting a purebred cat, understand the breed's traits and how they relate to your lifestyle. When you finally select a kitten, we recommend that our veterinarian perform a thorough examination to determine the pet's health status. This is especially important if introducing a new kitten into a multi-cat household. At this time, we will also discuss with you what is necessary to keep your new kitten healthy and happy.
Cats are great fun and wonderful companions.
