Did you know that early kitten care is purr-ticularly important for their long-term health? 😺 Meet Jazzpurr, one of our adorable new patients! At just 8 weeks old she's receiving her first vaccinations and parasite prevention to give her the best start in life. Kitten wellness exams are crucial in their first few months to monitor growth, ensure proper nutrition, and catch any potential health issues early. Bring your kitten in for a preventative wellness exam to keep them happy and healthy for years to come!

Today's #TrainingTipTuesday is all about ensuring a smooth litter training journey for your kittens! Let's make sure those tiny paws are on the right track with some helpful tips!
1️⃣ Choose the right litter: Opt for a kitten-friendly, unscented litter. Cats can be picky! 2️⃣ Place the litter box strategically: Set it up in a quiet, easily accessible spot. Cats appreciate their privacy. 3️⃣ Show them the way: Gently place your kitten in the litter box after meals and naps. Encourage exploration! 4️⃣ Be consistent: Stick to a routine. Regular meal times often lead to regular bathroom breaks. 5️⃣ Positive reinforcement: Praise and treats go a long way! Celebrate successful litter box visits with love and rewards. 6️⃣ Number of litter boxes: Ensure you have one more litter box than the number of cats. For example, if you have two cats, provide three litter boxes. Share your kitten's litter training triumphs in the comments!
