A first checkup sets a baseline for your cat's health.
Bring
- Any records from the shelter or breeder
- A list of what they eat
- Your cat in a secure carrier, with a towel over it
- A fresh stool sample if the clinic asks
Ask about
- Which vaccines your cat needs and when
- Parasite prevention
- A healthy weight and how much to feed
- Spay or neuter if it isn't done
- What counts as an emergency
